Leaves’ Eyes was formed in 2003 by Liv Kristine with her husband, Alexander Krull, and members of his band, Atrocity. The band combines atmospheric metal and classical elements. The lead female vocals are occasionally backed up by death growls from Alexander Krull.
Their debut album, Lovelorn, was released in 2004. The second album, Vinland Saga, was released 30th of May 2005, and retells the tale of the discovery of Vinland (i.e. North America) by Leif Erikson. The EP Legend Land was released on June 2, 2006 as a followup to Vinland Saga.
Liv Kristine created the band name, which is a homophone for the way “Liv’s Eyes” is pronounced by a Norwegian. “Leaves” is connected to nature, which has always been the biggest inspiration for her. Liv Kristine wrote all of the lyrics for the band's first six albums.
On April 15, 2016, the band announced via Facebook that they were parting ways with Liv Kristine, who would be replaced by Elina Siirala of EnkElination.
Former members include, in order of date joined,Liv Kristine (vocals, 2003-2016), Martin Schmidt (drums, 2003-2004), Chris Lukhaup (bass, 2003-2007), Mathias Röderer (guitars, 2003-2010), Moritz Neuner (drums, 2004-2007), Nicholas Barker (drums, 2004-2008), Alla Fedynitch (bass, 2007-2010), Seven Antonopoulos (drums, 2008-2010), Roland Navratil (drums, 2010-2012), J.B. van der Wal (bass, 2010-2013), Sander van der Meer (guitars, 2010-2015), and Felix Born (drums, 2012-2013).

Leaves' Eyes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since you went, I have counted, one year
Wherever you go I will follow you
I want to rest in your embracing arms
Let me heal (Let me heal)
Whenever you say it I will follow you
Say for me (Just let me heal)
I want to arise with you
Say for me!
Herbal teas, wounded soul
I will die, for you
Wherever you go I will follow you
Let me heal (Let me heal!)
I want to rest in your embracing arms
Let me heal (Let me heal)
Whenever you say it I will follow you
Say for me (Just let me heal)
I want to arise with you
Say for me!
Heal me from these endless nights
Help me to find the naked truth
Heal me from these endless nights
Help me to find the naked truth
