Born from a family with a strong musical background, and kindled with the fiery passion that is music, each of them had already played in various bands and other projects. They felt the time was right to bundle their collective experience and the idea for the band was born.
The idea became reality when they joined up with renowned vocalist Annelore Vantomme (ex-Sphinx) and bass player Thomas Halsberghe, who was new to the scene, but proved his quality in no time. The newly formed band started writing and rehearsing immediately, building a strong set-list in little over 4 months and planning to start performing and to record a demo CD in the spring of 2004. The reactions from the public were already very promising.
Unfortunately for the band - both on a musical and a personal level - lack of time and personal troubles forced Annelore to leave the band before the recording session started. The long and difficult search for a suitable replacement started immediately, finally resulting in the recruiting of Valerie Vanhoutte, who already had a long singing career behind her by singing, recording and performing with bands like Gyllnor, Dreamwalker and Daikiri.
Recording of the demo CD began shortly after Valerie joined the ranks of Gwyllion, resulting in the five-track demo CD 'Forever Denying The Never', released in August 2004, which was very well received by the metal community. Gigs had to be postponed, since Valerie was pregnant with Martijn's child, but the band started writing again and the first gigs followed in March 2005, two months after the birth of Jasmien.
Several other gigs followed, and the band decided to record a second release. This release had to be postponed because in the summer of 2006, after a long and difficult discussion, the band decided to part ways with Valerie, and to change the musical direction back to the original, more power-driven course. If Gwyllion wanted to take its music to the next level, a new vocalist and a second guitarist were needed.
The band was thrilled to learn Annelore, the original singer of the band, was ready to take over the vocal duties again, and one of her ex-bandmates from Sphinx, Steve Deleu, offered to join her to become the new second guitar player. Both members were welcomed enthusiastically, and after a few promising rehearsals, Gwyllion started to perform again, gaining a lot of positive reactions from the crowds. The band was growing up.
The recordings of the second release were resumed with the new line-up, and the band decided to re-record the songs of the last demo release together with three new songs, to present the new Gwyllion sound to the world. The recordings were finished in December 2006, resulting in the 'Awakening the Dream' CD that was released in March of 2007.
Three of the songs on this release were offered on the Internet for streaming, again gaining a lot of positive reactions from over the world. The band decided it was time to take the next step, and so these three songs were included in a promo package, that was sent to record labels in the beginning of 2007. The band is currently negotiating with several record labels to find the best deal. Until then, they are writing new music and performing where they can - Coming soon to a place near you!

Trinity
Gwyllion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Right on the eve of battle,
Next to the battleground
Two brothers stood there quietly
Expecting yet the third
Legend tells us of the brothers
Of the Holy
Next to the battleground
Two brothers stood there quietly
Expecting yet the third
Legend tells us of the brothers
Of the Holy
Trinity
Three as one, inseparable
And always meant to be
In this song, "Trinity" by Gwyllion, the lyrics speak of two brothers standing near a battlefield, waiting for their third companion to arrive. These brothers are believed to be part of the Holy Trinity, an inseparable combination of three entities - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The song speaks of the legend of the Trinity, who are always to be together, and how they are expected to have a guiding presence in the battle that is about to ensue.
The lyrics take on a profound and insightful interpretation of the Trinity, suggesting how it embodies the ultimate unity and togetherness that mankind should emulate. These principles of togetherness, unity, and an expectation of guidance in battle can be applied to everyday life as well. Through the song, we can understand and appreciate the depth of the Trinity and the values that it embodies.

Right on the eve of battle,
Next to the battleground
Two brothers stood there quietly
Expecting yet the third
Legend tells us of the brothers
Of the Holy Trinity
All for one and once for always
They are unified
Once for truth and once for wisdom,
Prophecies and visions fade
Once for love, once for horror
Fading in the night
This is not the truth, but not a lie
It is no wisdom but a...
Right on the eve of battle,
Next to the battleground
The third was striding to his kin
United once again
Legend tells us of the brothers
Of the Holy Trinity
All for one and once for always
They are unified
Never linger
Soon you will find the way
Through the never
Sadness will go astray
Lead the way
Harvest the day
Soon you will find your way
Once for truth and once for wisdom,
Prophecies and visions fade
Once for love, once for horror
Fading in the night
Never linger
Soon you will find the way
Through the never
Sadness will go astray
Lead the way
Harvest the day
Soon you will find your way
Trice denied, still believing
Standing up to the world
Three will stand after all is gone
The Holy Brotherhood
Right on the edge of battle,
Deep in the battleground
The Trinity is striking back
United once again
Legend tells us of the brothers
Of the Holy Trinity
All for one and once for always
They are unified
The legend tells of brothers
Of the Holy Trinity
All for one and once for always
They are one!
