Album Description With their third release, Griefshire, Elis has reached a career climax, delivering bombastic Gothic Metal that is beautifully carried by the vocal strength of frontlady Sabine Duenser. Elis continues to explore the extremes, pushing forth with even more aggressive riffs and faster songs, while still emphasizing midtempo tracks and a refined ballad-like feel. In this regard, Griefshire is the next logical step in the history of Elis: A compact and mature Gothic Metal album that is never monotonous, nor pretended. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsMusic influenced by literature, love, and death Shiloh Kremer | 01/15/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "Griefshire and the death of Sabine Dünser
On July 9, 2006 Sabine died of a cerebral hemorrhage. An announcement on the band's official website has stated that the album Griefshire would be released in Sabine's memory. A further announcement in September stated that the band would continue with a new singer. Griefshire was released in Europe on November 24, 2006 on Napalm Records. The North American release date was January 16, 2007. On December 28, 2006 it was finally announced that the new female singer is the Austrian metal singer Sandra Schleret, former vocalist of Dreams of Sanity and Siegfried, and guest singer on some Samael albums. A new album named "Catharsis" is due to be released sometime in 2009. Griefshire is a very heavy album that mixes symphonic and doom metal. Most of the song's lyrics are written in English, with two or three songs in German. Before Sabine Dünser's death, she was the main songwriter. Fortunately, the male singer's "cookie monster growls" are only used a little. "How Long" is my favorite song on the Griefshire album. Sabine Dunser will be remembered as a young, talented vocalist and songwriter with a very beautiful voice. New vocalist Sandra Schleret will be featured on the next album, Catharsis. This is a five star product- " |
