Welcome wanderer! Welcome to the official homepage of Elizium, the Dark Rock band from the Netherlands.
First an introduction for the uninitiated:
Started back in 1991, Elizium is a band which plays metal-oriented music which is hard to categorize. Perhaps 'melodic' or 'gothic' would be the most appropriate term to describe the powerful, sometimes agressive music. The influences which make up the music style are very diverse: the drums do sometimes remind of the more powerful symphonic rock style while the guitars sound heavy and brutal. The atmosphere of Elizium is one of battle and long forgotten era's.
But why don't you find out yourself and download one of the songs or artwork here...
Let the journey begin...
