Alerion formed in Asgard, Norway in 2006 with guitarist Erik Rygg, bassist Thomas Lindén, and drummer Tony Arnesen. They released their debut album 'Apollo' in 2009, followed by 'Solaris' in 2012 and 'Enigma' in 2015. Their sound has been described as progressive metal with symphonic and atmospheric elements.
Their song 'Athena' from 2012 became something of an anthem for the band, drawing on Greek mythology themes. Other tracks like 'Obsessão' and 'Turn of Fate' show their range across their catalog. They've also recorded a cover of Megadeth's 'She-Wolf'.
The current lineup includes Rygg on vocals and guitar, Lindén on bass, Arnesen on drums, with Asgeir M. Mikkelsen on guitar and Ruben Suhrke on keyboards. They've maintained a consistent presence in the progressive metal scene since their formation.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
