Tears Of A Hopeless God video online ! - 16/06/2015

The video shows the contrast between war ruins scenes and an idyllic Olympean temple, surrounded by giant stone gods. The symbolic idea behind is how men wage war on themselves, then on the god they created on their own, until destruction of humanity as well as deities. It perfectly depicts the main idea of the album "Symphony For A Hopeless God". Graphical elements of the album artwork and booklet can be found throughout the video.

Awesome reviews of "Symphony For A Hopeless God" - 21/01/2015

10/10 - Radio Panteon : « one of the best albums I've heard in the last few years. It is for these pearls that are reserved the note : 10/10 »

10/10 - Monkey Castle : "Musically, the band remains true to its successful concept. Intensive use of symphonic orchestras, choirs and hard power metal riffs. And above all stands the wonderful and - rich in its diversity - voice of mezzo-soprano Marie Rouyer. In my view, the best ever vocal performance on the three studio albums"

9.75/10 - Ravenheart : "Whyzdom was always knocking on the door of major league female fronted metal, they have now been allowed in big time."

New album details unveiled : "Symphony For A Hopeless God" - 01/01/2015

Official statement of Scarlet Records : 'Symphony For A Hopeless God’ is the third album of French Symphonic Metal band Whyzdom. After two successful albums relying on the power of Symphonic Orchestra and Metal riffing, as well as on the beauty of female voices, they push their own “Philharmonic Metal” concept one step further, adding an even more cinematic edge to their songs. Orchestra has never been so powerful. Choirs have never been so haunting. Riffs have never been so compelling. And vocals have never been so intense, ranging from pure and fragile melodies to harsh growls, all provided by mezzo-soprano Marie Rouyer. ‘Symphony For A Hopeless God’ depicts the constant need of humans to rely on the irrational to guide their life, and to give up their own freedom of thought, speech and action on behalf of what we know as “religion”. Slaughters, genocides, ethnic cleansings, have too often been committed in the name of religion. What would God think of that if he really existed? This is exactly what this album is all about.

Release date : February 17th, 2015.

Marie Rouyer joins WHYZDOM as new lead vocalist - 28/01/2013

We have two important news for you today. One departure and one arrival.

For professional reasons, Elvyne won't be able to join us on stage to play "Blind?" with us for you. Unfortunately, this has become a permanent situation. So we've been thinking together about this for some weeks and she finally proposed to withdraw from the band, to give us the freedom to go on with as many concerts as possible. Though painful, we feel it was the most reasonable decision that could be taken, and we thank Elvyne a lot for having proposed it so naturally. We remain very proud of the work we did together and it will definitely be a great pleasure to continue listening to her voice on "Blind?". We wish her the very very best.

However, following this departure, we have the pleasure to announce that we have already welcomed in Whyzdom our new lead singer : Marie ROUYER. This is a pretty quick arrival, because, actually, we already knew Marie for quite long. It felt quite natural to ask her to join us, since herself had become free for some months from her previous band. She was recommended by Asphodel (renowned singing teacher and lead vocalist of PIN UP WENT DOWN). Marie is an incredibly generous and kind person. More than that, she's an exceptionally skilled vocalist, with a great mezzo-soprano voice, a powerful natural rock voice... and even with extreme vocal techniques. It's been an immense pleasure to play our music with Marie for a few weeks already ! We're pretty sure that you'll share that pleasure with us during our next concerts (we'll very soon play in Germany, then in Paris and in the UK at the Dames Of Darkness). We're so enthusiastic, that we decided to quickly record some bits of our two albums with Marie and put them on our Youtube Channel. Check it out, and let's meet very soon on the road again !

WHYZDOM signed to SCARLET RECORDS - 23/8/2012

We are very excited to announce that WHYZDOM signed a deal with one of the most important growing european label : SCARLET RECORDS. It's a great honor to be part of their roster, along with such names as Shaman, Vision Divine, Eldritch, Labyrinth, Royal Hunt, just to name a few ! We are ready to work hand in hand to push our new album « BLIND ? », and make it available to a wider audience throughout the world. « BLIND ? » release date will be announced very soon. Stay tuned !

Scarlet Records : "Following the acclaimed debut ‘From The Brink Of Infinity’, Whyzdom have signed a deal with Scarlet Records and are proud to present ‘Blind?’, their new album. The band, which is known for their own signature approach to Symphonic Metal, blend once more intricate orchestral parts (including all the subtleties of strings, winds, brass, classical percussions, piano, harp etc.) and a real choir with the power of Heavy Metal. Through a coherence that hides the inherent complexity of this genre, Elvyne Lorient’s passionate melodies immediately stick into your mind, conveying pure emotions right from the very first note she sings. The album title not only refers to the blindness of people towards what’s happening around them, but also to the fact that we, as humans, often deliberately choose to be blind in many uncomfortable circumstances, which eventually lead us on the wrong path of life. ‘Blind?’ was produced by Vynce Leff, recorded and mixed in Paris at Powermania Studio and mastered by Mathieu Gillon and Vynce Leff at 120dB Studio. The stunning artwork is the result of a collaboration between X-Nihilo Design, Les Créations Vultus and Florent Cuaz."
