Biography
Elysians music is powerful, driving and extremely confident.
They blend their passion for straight up metal and progressive rock in a way unheard of in the current national and international heavy music scene.
February 2011 will be the 1-year anniversary of Elysian's first show and within this time they have been hitting the circuits heavily, playing on average, a show every two weeks. Elysian have been intent on carving their name into the minds of metal followers across Australia, building a strong home fan base in Melbourne and have done even more so with the rest of the east coast of Australia with constant live performances.
Following a strong start with their live shows, mid-way through 2010 Elysian released their self-produced debut EP and digitally released it through tunecore. With this 3 track EP, Elysian have built their own musical path by focusing their songs around intense moods and head pounding grooves creating an overall experience for the listener. Tracks like "Conquest" and "The Climb From Fear" emphasis the bands dynamics and progressive side, while the speed metal track "The Machine" and its take no prisoners approach has quickly become a live show stand out. Early in Elysian's career, the band signed with Booking Agency "Assidian" which gave them heightened focus and created opportunities that bands a few months old would never encounter. During this time, Elysian embarked on their first tour with "Ignite The Ibex" and "Alice Through The windshield Glass" on the "Harbingers of Storm" tour, which covered the east coast of Australia as a strong unit of high quality acts.
2011 has already been an exciting time for Elysian. On the back of Bassist Tristan Tait receiving an endorsement from MTD Kingston Basses and KSD Strings, Elysian were also honored to be asked by "Synthetic Breed" to join them on their "Perpetual Motion Machine Tour" which again took them out of Melbourne and across Australia.
The future for Elysian is looking strong, the rest of 2011 will see the release of their first full length album and will be quickly followed by an intensive Australian tour that will back up the confidence and professionalism of their music and image. Elysian will also be perusing international touring as a priority after the album launch tour of 2011.
