Sylver Myst, formed in 2001, is comprised of 6 talented members, each of which pulls their inspiration from many different musical genres and backgrounds. Their style has been described as melodic rock, progressive soprano metal, and symphonic goth-metal, although their music contains all of these musical elements and much, much more.
The Sylver Myst members thoroughly enjoy performing at live events, and they have quickly and effortlessly built a respectable live reputation and following. In its short existence the band has performed with several of the heavy hitters in the Femme-Metal genre. Some of the internationally famous bands, which have shared the stage with Sylver Myst, include After Forever, Leaves Eyes, Elis, Nemesea, Darkwell, Asrai, Imperia and The Wounded.
Described by a national Dutch radio show as a live band that manages to masterfully combine the grasping power of heavy metal-riffs with broad arrangements, and all this without succumbing to frivolous and self-defiling solo play. Also the jury of the Stoepslag band contest was so impressed with Sylver Myst that they won the contest in the spring of 2005.
After two demo CDs and a mini CD that were released on an independent basis, Sylver Myst began looking for a label to represent them. Therefore, in January 2006 Sylver Myst signs a deal with the new American label Sirenette Music Industries. The band immediately entered the studio to record their first full-length album. The album was recorded at Excess Studios in Rotterdam, and was produced by the well-known and respected Hans Pieters.
The resulting album is called Emotions Revealed and includes thirteen songs, each representing important moments in a persons lifetime. Lifes emotional moments like falling in love, getting divorced, or losing someone you love, are all expertly expressed in these tunes. The CD features a mature band that is not afraid to reveal it all, from ballads and progressive riffs, to acoustic solos and choruses.
