There you go! The Official Elexorien topic \m/
Elexorien (the Netherlands) was founded in 2004. We play a mixture of power and viking metal,
in which the folk- black- and even deathmetal influences play a great part as well.
"Epic Fantasy Battle metal" would be the best way to describe our music.
We have been influenced by bands such as Thyrfing, Moonsorrow, Bal-Sagoth, and Old Man's Child.
Elexorien creates an extremely powerful sound which is jam-packed full of catchy melodies,
blazing drums, growls and classically trained female vocals.
Vocalist Iné The Crusher Zijlstra joined the band in February 2005, and in August of the
same year, guitarist Ronald Wolve Lukken was hailed amongst the ranks of Elexorien.
We have played quite a few concerts all over the Netherlands, the most memorable ones being
the gigs with the Dutch leading Folkmetal heroes Heidevolk, and the well-known Finnish
Pagan/Folkmetalband Korpiklaani.
