Sariola

Sariola is a female fronted gothic metal band from Germany consisting of an international line-up featuring members from Russia, Germany, Ukraine and Belarus.

Sariola was founded by E.Konny and Anagnorisis in the year 2005. E.Konny already played black metal-based music with clear, operatic vocals in his former bands Divina Nocturna / Spectra Selene (1997–2004). After a short time, Silenia Tyrvenis, singer of E.Konny's former project, joined Sariola. The Band started immediately the recording of their first album, entitled "Sphere of Thousand Sunsets".

Due to personal reasons Silenia Tyrvenis left the band. After several line up changes, a new line up crystallized: Loreley Mrs.V. Von Rhein - vocals, Morgan Le Faye - keyboards, E.Konny - Guitars, Anagnorisis - Guitars, Ablaz (Sarah Jezebel Deva (Band), Stahlmann) - Bass, Morbid - Drums.

Following by live concerts and open air festivals with bands like, Ensiferum, Psyche, Pro-Pain, Gods Army, Hail of Bullets, Sariola offered live performance on the stages of Europe.

In May 2009 SARIOLA released an EP entiteled "Deathfrozen Silence" containing an early version of four songs from the upcoming album "From The Dismal Sariola". The musical mixture of the EP improves the typical elements of SARIOLA and gained positive reviews by international press.

As result of a demand, Sariola completely re-recorded their first album "Sphere Of Thousand Sunsets" with the new line-up without using any original tracks. The release was in May 2012. The next album of Sariola is scheduled according to the interview for swedish "Battle Helm"-Zine for winter 2012/2013
