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.
Enmig del silenci
Narsilion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En l´ombra del passat,
en les aigües tristes d´un llac
regne de soledad...
En silenci enmig de l´oblit
et recordo lluny de mi...
quan ara hi neix la tristor,
més enllà s´enfonsarà
per sempre etern el destí...
En silenci enmig de l´oblit
et recordo lluny de mi...
Com les ombres dansaràs
perdudes entre records,
es profund el teu lament
en mans de la solitud...
El vent...
encara em retorna al teu costat...
on encara et ploren,
morint els meus records...
On encara escolto...
el batec del teu cor...
més enllà en la distància,
enmig del silenci...
Lest teves aigües tornaran a ser el meu regne daurat
tornanran a cridar el meu nom,
com crida la nit... a la seva foscor
el clamor del teu lament...
reflexe dels meus ulls...
En les teves mans hi neix ara
etern... el meu destí...
The song "Enmig del silenci" by Narsilion is a deeply emotional and melancholic composition that explores the concept of memory and the power it holds. The lyrics describe the lasting effect of time in the shadows of the past, flowing in the sad waters of a lonely lake that has become a realm of solitude. The singer remembers someone from the past in the silence of forgetfulness, where they are detached from each other but not completely forgotten. The night becomes mystical, and sadness is born out of it. However, even beyond the descent into oblivion, destiny will remain eternal. The following lines describe how one will dance like shadows, lost between memories, and how profound their lament will be in the hands of solitude.
The lyrics depict a vivid imagery of a person's struggle to cope with the loss of someone they cared about, and the pain of separation that still lingers in their hearts. The wind brings them back to the person's side, where they still weep and mourn their loss, while the singer is stuck with their memories. The song ends with a hopeful note, describing how the singer will return to the golden kingdom of the lake, where their name will be called out, just like the darkness of the night calls out for their lament.
