Progessive Death Metal from Paris

About Me


Lyr Drowning is a French metal band, formed in 2002 by Goulven Jeffroy, who initiated the basis of the first tunes, and who was then joined by Emmanuel Rousseau, the actual keyboard player. Both influenced by much diversified bands such as Opeth, Dimmu Borgir, or Anathema, their project was quickly defined. Their goal was to create dark and majestic songs, alternating aggressive rhythms and atmospheric or acoustic passages.
In 2004, they produced an MCD on their own, "Orchestral March". This first creation gained excellent comments from specialized webzines, which gave Lyr Drowning the occasion to appear on several samplers, such as the "Pavillon 666 - Révelation Underground 1" compilation, and Rock Hard n° 60 (monthly demo). Meanwhile, the line up was completed, which enables them to give their first gigs : about 10 shows in 2006.
Still in 2006, Lyr Drowning began to work on their first album entitled "Blind from Birth". They chose self-production again, which provided them more freedom without any constraints of time. But this production was much more important and the two musicians spent nine months initiating the creation of the new opus; richer and more mature it mixes Death, Progressive, Doom and Heavy, still following a defined guideline.
With a new album and a stable line up, Lyr Drowning is back on stage.

Lyr Drowning est un jeune groupe de metal parisien. Il est formé en 2002 par Goulven Jeffroy, qui met en place les bases des premiersmorceaux, rapidement rejoint par le claviériste Emmanuel Rousseau. Tous deux sont fortement influencés par des groupes aussi variés qu'Opeth,Dimmu Borgir ou encore Anathema, et le projet principal de Lyr Drowning est bientot défini : créer des morceaux à la fois sombres et majestueux,alternant des rythmiques agressives et de nombreux passages atmosphériques ou acoustiques.
En 2004, les deux musiciens autoproduisent un MCD, "Orchestral March". Ce premier effort reçoit d'excellents retours des webzines spécialisés, etpermet à Lyr Drowning de figurer sur plusieurs samplers - entre autres la compilation "Pavillon 666 - Révélation Underground 1" et RockHard n°60 (démo du mois). Parallèlement, la mise en place d'un line up complet donne au groupe les moyens de donner ses premiers concerts. Il seproduira une dizaine de fois en 2006.
La meme année, Lyr Drowning se lance dans l'écriture de son premier album, "Blind from Birth". Choisissant une nouvelle fois la voie del'autoproduction pour laisser une totale liberté d'arrangement sans aucune contrainte de temps, mais cette fois-ci avec une production bien plus conséquente,les deux musiciens s'attèlent pendant neuf mois à la réalisation de ce nouvel opus. En résulte un album plus riche et plus mature, melant les styles Death,Prog, Doom et Heavy tout en gardant une ligne directrice bien définie.
Ce nouvel album en poche et fort d'un nouveau line up, Lyr Drowning est désormais pret à remonter sur scène.
