France’s END. gives the metal scene exactly what is needed – something unique, groundbreaking, and a new style of extreme to follow upon. Much like fellow homeland heroes Gojira and Hacride, END. pulls off a signature sound that can immediately be picked up by the metal critics. END.’s ever evolving brand of extreme music makes for an open minded listen from start to finish. Their technicality not only stands out, but also goes towards metal’s advantage, expanding the genre. END. delivers complex and brutal structures while at the same time adding doses of dark and apocalyptic moods, keeping you addicted. Their creativity, power, and aesthetics without a doubt will stun the metal genre.

Today, Eryn Non Dae. raise their metal to a new level.
Their second album, Meliora, gives cause to revaluate structure, phrase and atmosphere. Eryn Non Dae.’s music resembles a sculpture, complex and evocative.
Recorded by the demanding visionary Mobo (Conkrete Studios) who also recorded Hydra Lernaïa and the first EP.
Eryn Non Dae. push the limits of their metal further still: Meliora is both cerebral and organic, complete with dynamic relief, softer abstract and atmospheric passages of contained energy appear and transport the listener. From this highly textured mosaic the concept comes to life: this time coming from a long introspective process. Meliora speaks of the metamorphosis of a man into a higher being. This transformation is born from a realization of inner truth. On this inexorable journey towards the end, a light may be found.
The lyrics of Meliora swing between appeasement and resignation, with references to mythology and alchemy. Filled with actual experiences, the album expresses a physical and psychic quest. The lyrics are raw and fragile, vindictive and sensitive, bleak yet filled with goodwill and hope. Meliora is, finally, a fragment of pure humanity.
Cover and extracts of Meliora are available here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Eryn-...e/355648971624
Directed by Arnaud Gransagne during summer 2013. Taken from the album Meliora in stores since October 2012 and recorded at ConKrete Studio.
Hidden Lotus is the visual representation of the concept approached throughout Meliora: metamorphosis. Based on the lyrics of the song, the video develops the idea of evolution through the growth pattern of the lotus, signifying the progress of the soul. The lotus draws its substance from the mud to flourish above the water.
