Lyriel - Leverage

[Fire breath]

Typical stuff from Europe. Pop music with guitars and a girl on the mic and even one on the cello for extra eye candy. Cliched and formulaic as hell but a good song is a good song and if it's catchy like in this song then I'm happy enough.

It's GLEE, the metal episode.

I liked their Prisonworld album, but haven't heard anything else from them. I don't remember it being like this though... Used to be a more folk metal like. Can't say I'm into this.

They were folk but to get big in Europe you have to go the Lacuna Coil route or something hence the dropping of folk.

Hope it works for them. I'll pass. I've been put off by the direction Within Temptation has gone as well for this same reason.

From AFM records newsletter:

After the release of their latest album "Leverage" in February, German Gothic rock band LYRIEL received overwhelming feedback on one song especially: the sensitive ballad "Wenn Die Engel Fallen", where Schandmaul singer Thomas Lindner is singing a duett part with LYRIEL'S Jessica. The band then decided to film a video for this song - and here it is!

​

Also a digital single "Wenn Die Engel Fallen" is available now, which includes the title track and 4 bonus videos.
