Biography

French symphonic metal band Kerion features a lyrical choir, as well as metal choirs by Phil Gordana (Fairyland) and a lyrical singer as their guest vocalist. Their albums don cover art by artist JP Fournier (Avantasia, Edguy), and have been mixed in Harkam Studio by Wildric Lievin (Hamka, Fairyland) and Guillaume Serra. "Holy Creatures Quest" shows a powerful and symphonic metal sound.

Kerion began as an instrumental

heroic fantasy
tale "Staraxis" written by Chris Barberi: the "Conspiracy of Darkness" and "The Last Sunset".

It was due time for a release, and 2008's "Holy Creatures Quest" was the third and final part of Barberi's novel.

As newer fans asked to hear old demos, the band decided to rewrite some of the songs and have a real studio recording, as they were not happy with the quality of the demos. Their second album "The Origins", as its name indicates, is the result of this musical revival.
