Description:

For fans of melodic operatic music like symphonic metal contemporary opera or baroque and classical opera or even gothic darkwave or gothic metal

If you love music "operatic" in influence or that borrows from the classical style such as symphonic/gothic metal or neoclassical darkwave, new age/ambient or classical crossover, or even perhaps opera in its own entirety without modern influence, specifically the Classical and Baroque composers. And the singers that perform these pieces of work. In other words authentic opera singers. This is what really defines opera. The styles "Operatic" and "Classical crossover" borrow from OPERA itself but are entirely separate categories. Symphonic metal singers sing in fact in "operatic" style but they are not opera singers. There is a distinct difference in the style of singing. Singing on soprano does not mean you can sing opera. So with that said this group is not necessarily here to be elitist but it is for fun and all those who like opera influenced music or true opera. Including music influenced by the classical style. I have a personal passion for these things so this group is open to those who share it.

And also ambient, new age, and folk ethereal artists, are the point, so the music being GOTHIC as that worn out cliche goes is not the point of this group, I don't tolerate those superior attitudes here. This group is not fascist.

Um its not just for "true" gothic music in fact thats not the point its about genres influenced by classical music, so that mainly means symphonic or gothic metal, some avant garde darkwave or industrial artists, please read the description before commenting. Thank you.

Crysalys are the heralds of a new musical hybrid named Post-Opera. They are ready to enter the spotlight with their highly-awaited debut album “The Awakening Of Gaia”. The Italian band's first full length will be released by WormHoleDeath/Aural Music on September 23rd. The album has been mixed by Chris Donaldson and mastered at Finnvox Studios by Mika Jussila. This is their first video, check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGgY8nm22UE
