Perfect melody intertwines with powerful metal. Lyria is very active across all social media channel and is one of a handful of younger bands that have a grasp on the new music industry. While other bands struggle with their online presence, lyria makes it look easy. We had Aline answer a few questions regarding the current status of Brazil's biggest underground sensation.
The new album, immersion comes out April 11th. Be sure to get your copy!


 What is the band currently working on?

I am working on everything that involves the release of our new album, Immersion, which will be on April, 11.
So, I am organizing the crowdfunding campaign rewards, scheduling concerts, promoting  events, answering interviews and the band is also practicing a lot for the concerts.

 describe your writing process. Is it one person with a riff or a team effort?
It is a team effort. We mix our ideas and put them together. Most of them come from my melodies.

 How has the metal scene in your area  treated the band?
Our fan base is growing a lot here, and it is funny that many of them weren't so familiar to other metal bands before.

 Female fronted metal and symphonic metal bands have exploded on the scene, especially from Europe. What do you attribute to the rising success of these bands as well as your own?
I think many girls can get inspiration on the singers about being successful. Talking about the sound, it is heavy and at the same time, very melodic, so it pleases many different people.

Social media: positive or negative as it relates to your band
Totally positive.

 name your influences
From Epica, Lacuna Coil, After Forever, Evanescence, Within Temptation to Disturbed, Linkin Park and Creed.

one band you would love to tour with
Just one? Oh Gosh...! Any band from the last question.

any subject matter you will not write about
I don't know. I can't say I will never write about something.

. hardest thing about being a musician
There is a lot of pros and cons as in any profession. Maybe I could say that you have to be always creating something new, you have to be seen and known... and this is not easy. :P
 
 name a band in your cd collection that fans would never expect

Hmm... BackstreetBoys?

LOVEBITES interview for CRY OF THE WOLF MAGAZINE Answered by miho, bass guitar player 1) Take us through the writing process I always write riffs first and make a basic demo, then start adding arrangement to complete a song. 2) Does everyone contribute Our guitarlist mi-ya and myself, along with another songwriter outside of the band usually write music/melody. Each of us brings own music to the table and each band member arrange their own part to complete the music. As for the lyrics, asami and myself write all of our songs. But each band member is a great song-writer, we are going to play other member’s songs as well in the near future. 3) What are the rehearsals like. Do you have set jam times When we start rehearsing for a tour/show, we first decide how much time we want to/can put into each song and concentrate on bettering the performance one by one. And we play from top to the bottom of our set list for a several times. 4) What makes the perf

Arch / Matheos reveals details for new album, 'Winter Ethereal'; launches video for first single, "Straight and Narrow" In progressive metal circles, the names of guitarist Jim Matheos and vocalist John Arch are spoken with due reverence. With the former having been a driving force in Fates Warning for thirty-five years, and the latter the original front-man of that band, they also have a single seminal work under the Arch / Matheos banner, 2011's Sympathetic Resonance . In 2019, they have reunited to follow that record up with Winter Ethereal , a more stylistically varied and perhaps deeper collection that explores a lot of sonic territory over the course of nine immer
