French symphonic power metal band created by Philippe Giordana and Willdric Lievin in 2000. They chose Elisa C. Martin (ex-Dark Moor, Dreamaker) for the vocals. In 2003, Willdric and Elisa left to create a new band (Hamka), so they picked Max Leclercq (Magic Kingdom) as new singer.
Following the release of their first demo, Tribute to Universe, their basic metal style began evolving into something more fantastic and symphonic, to which their second demo, Realm of Wonders, attests.
Through various metal contacts the band enlisted guitarist Anthony Parker (Heavenly) and soon gave up looking for a label to enter Wizard Studio in Feb. 2002.
During the recordings of their debut, the band began looking for a powerful vocalist, which they found in Elisa C. Martin, known from the successful Spanish Power Metal band DARK MOOR.
With their first full-length complete, FAIRYLAND signed on with Denmark-based Intromental Management, and shortly thereafter secured a recording contract with the French label N.T.S. (now Replica Records).
Of Wars in Osyrhia was released worldwide in April 2003, enjoying massive promotion from both their record label and management. The great response from both media and fans enabled the band to tour with Sonata Arctica in France, as well as to perform in the renowned Sweden Rock Festival in 2003.
Internal band problems led to both Willdric Lievin and Elisa C. Martin, leaving the band. The band continued on without them to finish the recordings for the new concept album Fall of an Empire—again composed by Philippe Giordana and Anthony Parker, who had gathered a new line-up comprised of vocalist Max Leclerqc (formerly of Magic Kingdom), drummer Pierre-Emmanuel “Piwee” Desfray, and bassist Thomas “Tom” Cesario.

Terribly underrated band... I mean come on, Fairyland is just amazing, one of the best Power Metal bands ever, and so few people know them... They should be more popular, since all their albums kick ass!

Fantastic work, I would say Score To A New Beginning would be my favorite as of now (I don't own Of Wars In Osyrhia yet), but geez, the singing, vocals, melodies and keyboard are just brilliant. There is no song on that album that I don't like.

they look promising, hopes for really good new works :)

I'm surprised they chose the"Fairyland" spelling rather than the "Faerieland" spelling, since "Faerie" is used more often for the traditional depictions (dangerous, and pretty darn metal) while "Fairy" is more often used for the Shakespearean/Diseny/Diminutive/not-metal-at-all depictions. Maybe they weren't aware of the different uses of the different spellings in English, since they are presented in dictionaries as just being alternate spellings of the same word?

Auf dem neuen Album passt endlich die Stimme perfekt zur Melodie! Hört sich fast schon an wie das neuste Symphony X album.

I'm super pissed because "Of Wars In Osyrhia" wouldn't upload. Apparently the file was too big. Stupid fucking Myspace.
