Sweeping the world with their epic and ethereal sound, Eye of Melian has been described as lush symphonic movie score-like music - unfolding epic and elegant storyscapes in the mind. Their fantasy inspired music and lyrical themes readily whisk the listener away to otherworldy realms.
Their debut album Legends of Light was released on June 21, 2022.
Eye of Melian is the brainchild of Dutch songwriter and producer Martijn Westerholt, known for Delain and Within Temptation. Martijn wanted an outlet to create lush orchestral fantasy music. In 2017, he teamed up with American lyricist Robin La Joy, a life-long fantasy enthusiast who spends much of her time immersed in books, particularly the works of Tolkien. Their mutual passion for fantasy-inspired music led them to the creation of Eye of Melian.
Successful Finnish solo artist Johanna Kurkela’s angelic voice quickens the fantasy to full life. She is also known for her work in Auri, Altamullan Road, Tuomas Holopainen - “Music Inspired by the Life and Times of Scrooge", and more.
Also contributing to the project is Finnish orchestral arranger and producer Mikko P. Mustonen who has worked on many successful releases in various genres. It is his incredible talent in classical arranging that adds the final magical touch to the music.
Guest musicians on EoM’s debut album include multi-instrumentalist Troy Donockley ( Nightwish, Auri) on pipes and flutes and Celtic metal artist Leah with her signature ethereal vocals.
