Mylidian is made up of 5 musicians. Since its formation in 1993, the band has been through different line-ups and has used different names. In December 2001, the band managed to find a stable line-up under the name of Mylidian. This name comes from a role playing game (RPG) that the Harmanide company created. All Mylidians lyrics are about this cyber-gothic universe ; besides it is this concept that mainly makes Mylidian so special.
The band recorded a concept album based on this universe. It's a Dark Metal Opera album produced by Didier Chesneau (Headline, At Vance, Evergrey, SymphonyX, Vanden Plas, Magic Kingdom, Iron Mask, In Victus, Misanthrope, Oliver Hartmann, Robert Kohlmeyer, LMP, NTS, Lion Music, Anvil Corp) with choirs in the vein of THERION (a choir of fifty people) and orchestrations in the vein of DIMMU BORGIR, BLIND GUARDIAN or RHAPSODY.
"Birth of the Prophet" is the first album of a dramatic trilogy called "Rise of the Cursed Son".
It is important to note that this first album contains many different vocal tones, a classical choir, many orchestral arrangements as well as a story involving different characters. It is more than a concept album, Birth of the prophet is a real Dark Metal Opera.
The band put a lot of time and effort in creating a musical trilogy based on role playing scenarios. The book containing the rules of the game is supposed to be released in 2006.
Mylidian's unique association of a Dark Metal Opera with a cyber-gothic RPG makes the band instantly recognizable.
