Biography
Based in Rhône-Alps region, Céphée Lyra is a progressive metal band created in April 2005 by Sylvain Claux (guitars) and Maud Hent (vocals). The band evolves in a distinctive musical universe, between power, aggressiveness and softness?

A second guitar has joined Céphée Lyra between November 2010 and March 2012 with Julien Goeuriot, leaving more room to power and energy.
