Biographie : Valkyre
VALKYRE's style can be discribed as a mixture from gothic-metal, classical music, folkmusic and melodic metal. Influenced by bands as Therion, In Extremo, Nightwish and Kamelot this band provides you with a nice blend of atmosphere and metal heavyness.
Only a few months after the first gigs the band decided in the autumn of 2005 to record a demo at the Excess studio in The Netherlands with Hans Pieters known from After Forever, Epica and Gorefest. This demo is for sale since the spring of 2006 and resulted in excellent sales wordwide and succesful concerts through Benelux, France and Italy.
In 2007 the band hired Cid Jimenez as the new violin player to replace Joris Derder, who left because of a shortage of time due to his professional musical career. He still supports the band today with the Ghent University Choir.
In September 2007 the band recorded its second demo "Consolamentum", again at the Excess studio. The demo was first released at the Metal Female Voices Fest in October 2007 and was immediately sold out.
Over the next year the band will do concerts throughout Europe to promote "Consolamentum" and to work on getting a record deal with a label
