 Lyria is fronted by the incredible mezzo soprano, ALINE HAPP. This symphonic alternative metal band is one of the brightest upcoming stars in the genre. 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.

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.

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.
