1. The origins of Narsilio… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple bands named Narsilion.
1. The origins of Narsilion date back to 1999, when Sathorys Elenorth started solo project blending traditional medieval fantasy with neoclassical music, inspired by sadness, loneliness and nature. In 2000, Sathorys recorded his first demo called “Lacrima Profundere”, which was soon followed by two others, “Ancient Medieval Times” and “Autumnal Caress”.
Lady Nott then joined the band, who was at that time playing the violin and providing vocals for the band Gotlethe and Nocturn. It was at this time that the band was named Aranmanoth.
In 2002 Aranmanoth merged with Trobar de Morte, Lady Morte’s solo project, and was renamed Ordo Funebris. Ordo Funebris released one demo and two studio albums through Drama Company before disbanding.
In September 2003, Lady Nott and Sathorys Elenorth returned to their former project, and took the name Narsilion, an elven word that means “the song of the moon and the sun”, from Tolkien's "The Silmarillion".
In December 2003 Sathorys (voice, keyboards, percussion and classical guitar) and Lady Nott (voice, violin and recorder) recorded their first demo, "Return To The Silver Forest", at Maxim Sound Studios in Barcelona, Spain. The demo was inspired by "the night’s embrace... beyond those dreams one day made us feel magic in a world filled with deep and enchanted woods... where elves, fairies and other beautiful creatures dance at the sound of unclosed legends, told under the gentle gaze of Mother Earth.."
On March 7th 2004, the band released a demo on their own label “Earendil Records”, receiving enthusiastic reviews from the public and press alike. This demo led to the band being signed by Caustic Records in Vitoria-Gasteiz. The band returned to the studio to record their first full-length album, “Nerbeleth” (an elven word that means “nightfall” or “sunset”).
During the recording “Nerbeleth”, Dark Wind (flutes) joined the band, first as a session player and later as a full time member. In October 2004 “Nerbeleth” was officially released. The album was a critical success nationally and internationally.
Narsilion then toured in support of the album around Spain, sharing bill with such bands as Gor and Morpheus amongst others.
Between August and December 2005, Narsilion returned to the studio, and in May 2006, they released their sophomore album, Arcadia. This album was also well-received by the critics, even receiving 10/10 from Orkut magazine. Arcadia raised the band's profile, allowing them to share the bill with bands like Dark Sanctuary while touring.
In January 2007, Narsilion received an offer from Ars Musica Diffundere/Black Rain Records in Germany to promote their third album and in August 2007, the band entered the studio again to record Namárië. In November, Dark Wind left the band for personal reasons.
Lady Nott and Sathorys have since adapted their songs to accommodate the new line-up.
2. Narsilion was a melodic death metal band from Richmond, Virginia. They released one album called The Hate Lay Hidden in 2002 before breaking up.
Autumnal Equinox
Narsilion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The cry of the sky
In my cristaline dreams...
The Wind...
Whisper of my heart
Fortress of my soul...
Silence...
The eyes of the sad
The moon...
Enchant of the woods
Silver light of nature...
Autumn...
The call of the rain
Lost tears in my hands...
Dreaming...
Return to the past
In the garden of light...
Magic...
The realm of the life
And the eternity
Essence...
The autumnal caress
Beyond the infinity...
Autumn...
The cry of the sky
In my cristaline dreams...
The Wind...
Whisper of my heart
Fortress of my soul...
Silence...
The eyes of the sad
Master of my night...
The moon...
Enchant of the woods
Silver light of nature...
The song "Autumnal Equinox" by Narsilion is a wistful ode to the autumn season. The lyrics are filled with imagery and metaphors that capture the essence of autumn's beauty and melancholy. The opening lines, "Autumn... The cry of the sky in my cristaline dreams..." set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is describing how the autumn sky and its crying seem to find its way into his or her dreams. This could suggest the feeling of being overwhelmed by the emotions that autumn elicits.
The Wind, which is described as the whisper of the singer's heart and fortress of the soul, may represent the powerful force that the season possesses. The Wind may also symbolize the transience and fragility of life. Meanwhile, Silence could be attributed to the sadness and somberness of the season. The lyrics mention how the sad eyes of Silence are master of the singer's night, suggesting that autumn brings about insomnia and a feeling of sadness.
The moon in the song is referred to as the enchantress of the woods and silver light of nature, evoking the magical and ethereal qualities of the autumn period. The words "magic," "realm of life," "eternity," and "autumnal caress beyond infinity" in the later half of the song, possibly imply a longing for something lasting that one can hold on to amid the ephemerality of the autumn season.

Came here to just type something, nothing special.
2011, the year I was turning 14, the year of hardships for me at school, and the year my parents finally decided to end their 31-year marriage in March 2011 when we found he had been cheating on us with another woman for 6 years at that time. It was upon my mother's request to put all of the emotional, mental abuse by my father an end.
I was grateful to God that the man finally decided to let us go from being under his wrecked shelter and abandonment, and I can never tell how much abuse we went through because of him, someone I could never forgive until the day I die, and someone I never even once consider him as my father. After all of the financial settlements and the divorce, we finally felt peace in our lives, for the first time, but sadly that peacefulness was only for a short period of time.
In May, that bloody old man sent spiritual and mystical disturbances to our house and oh dear Lord, only He who knew what went around me and my family at that time. It was also the first time I became spiritually sick with these ghosts living in my body, that was dragged to a couple of years ahead, including the time I nearly jumped off a building from the 2nd floor at my campus. 2011 was the year that all traumas came to life, and up until today, I still cannot understand how my family and I could still live in that shady, gloomy 40-year-old house, with having demons disturbing every day and night, even at school, even at work, but I guess, it was all by the grace of God. I remember how frequent we went out during weekends almost every week. We were fed up, felt hopeless because we only have the four of us as a family, not having any other familial connections from any aunties or uncles from both sides of my parents, and absolutely angry.
And this album was there, playing in the car throughout the haunting year. The comfort Narsilion has given to us...the experience, during that time was unforgettable. The car itself felt more homely more than our actual house. Every time when we got in the car to go somewhere, I always wish that I didn't have to go back to that house again. Narsilion is one of my ways to escape from reality, at least in my mind, just to numb the pain. They have helped me so much in coping with life. Can never thank them enough for creating such beautiful melodies. A masterpiece.
