Martijn Westerholt (Delain, Within Temptation) und seine EYE OF MELIAN erinnern mit ihren Ethereal Symphonic Klängen eher an Fantasy Filmmusik als an Metal. Dennoch ist die vierköpfige Formation auf einem Metallabel gelandet. Ihnen kann es herzlich egal sein, denn so oder so erscheint ihr zweites Album, “Forest of Forgetting“, am 20 Februar 2026. Einen ersten Einblick gewährt euch da Video zu `Symphonia Arcana`.

Lyrics:
Autumn’s pale moonrise
(Can you hear the stream?)
Thins the veil’s divide
(Let your heart drink)
Otherworldly chorus bids me come
Borne upon the wind
(Follow if you dare)
Voices call „Further in“
(We can take you there)
Filled with nameless longing I succumb
“Come heed this mysterious symphony of another universe”
Catching fire I yearn, glowing new life
Answering the call to
“Come drink of the healing stream at the seam of another universe”
The secret fire burns in me now alight
In the moonlit verse
Flames like fire glow
(Hovering midair)
Wordlessly invoke
(They are everywhere)
Those who ride the winds between the worlds
In this soft twilight
(Let it cover you)
Gold and scarlet intertwine
(To begin anew)
Fallen leaves sway as the strain unfurls
“Come heed this mysterious symphony of another universe”
Catching fire I yearn, glowing new life
Answering the call to
“Come drink of the healing stream at the seam of another universe”
The secret fire burns in me now alight
In the moonlit verse
