Since their formation in 2021, Ylisia has been capturing hearts and minds with their symphonic metal fusion, powerful vocals, and infectious melodies. Drawing inspiration from bands like The Gathering, Evanescence, Within Temptation, and Kate Bush, they’ve quickly become a live performance force to be reckoned with, gracing renowned stages at festivals such as FemME, Bevrijdingfestival Wageningen, and Nieuwveen Live. Their debut album Underneath is not just another symphonic metal album—it’s an emotionally rich and personal journey, crafted over two decades by keyboardist George van Olffen. From heavy rock anthems to atmospheric ballads, tracks like “September,” “Pain,” and “Underneath” show off the band’s diverse sound. But it’s “Free,” written in the wake of deep personal loss, that truly stands out, delivering a powerful message of hope, grief, and resilience. Produced with care by Daan Janzing and featuring stunning artwork by Gogo Malone, Underneath is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates raw emotion and musical depth. |
