Biography
Utrecht, The Netherlands (2005 – present)
1. Alerion (www.alerion.nl): progressive metal with female vocals. Ranging from fast and heavy to slow and mellow, with diverse arrangements and atmospheric melodies, Alerion’s sound is not easily described, but very recognizable.
In 2011 the Alerion song ‘Turn of Fate’ is included on the compilation album ‘Melody and Malice’ by Femme Metal Records. Besides Alerion, the album features tracks from many established metal acts, such as Arch Enemy, Lacuna Coil, Edenbridge, Kittie, Amberian Dawn and In This Moment.
Alerion was formed by guitarist Bas Willemsen on July 6, 2005, in Utrecht, The Netherlands, and started out playing classic metal covers. In 2007, the band released its self-produced debut demo ‘[album artist=alerion]Fledgling[/album’ with the intention to use it to acquire gigs. The demo, although self-produced, generated buzz online and was internationally well received.
In 2009 Alerion released the promo ‘Turn of Fate’, featuring keyboards and an increase of progressive elements in the music, moving Alerion into the progressive rock and metal genre. Turn of Fate was recorded and produced by Kevin Storm of Dutch female fronted metal band Cardamon, also from Utrecht.
Alerion has performed with bands like Knight Area, Ex Libris, A New Dawn, The Name, Tightland, Android Soul, Incidense, and Sephyros, and was strengthened by Laura ten Hoedt on vocals in 2011. As of 2012, Alerion is making plans to record a full album.

new promo is much better than 'fledgling'.

Well, I'm generally into a faster style of metal so I found Clash with Eternity a little sedate for my tastes, but Turn of Fate is pretty good. Some nice drumwork there. Good solo near the end, I really like the whole ending segment. :) It really picks up and gets energetic.

For some reason, I always come back to them. They sound different - I would describe them to be raw and natural - a very unique sound that's hard to forget.
