The Liechtenstein formation ELIS featuring front lady Sabine Dünser began their musical career under the name ERBEN DER SCHÖPFUNG. In 2001 they released their first single Elis as well as their debut album Twilight, thrilling the hearts of gothic metal fans worldwide.
The music found on the aforementioned releases oscillates from clear vocal lines to the sharp attacks of guitars and the driving beats of the rhythm section. A mélange of classical and electronic elements compliment the gothic metal concoction, adding a distinctive feature to the already memorable compositions.
The band has appeared live at the Wave Gotik Festival in Leipzig, among others, has held on to favorable positioning on the DAC-Charts, and has remained well represented in the scene’s press. Germany’s Orkus Magazine, for example, featured ERBEN DER SCHÖPFUNG as their top newcomer act of the month. This choice was later more than confirmed by the publication’s readership, who extended the honor by choosing the band as their NEWCOMER of 2001.
Following their split with Oliver Falk, Sabine Duenser and co. re-emerged in 2003 under the new alias ELIS, yet still quite capable of an impressive showing, as their latest recording effort proves.
Skillfully produced at Mastersound Studio by Alexander Krull (Atrocity), God's Silence, Devil's Temptation, boasts of a heavy yet clear production. The album is scheduled for an 18 August release on NAPALM RECORDS alongside the re-release of ERBEN DER SCHÖPFUNG’s 2001 debut, Twilight.
