Sleepmask

Sleepmask formed in the early 2000s around vocalist Lyra and musician Orion. Their debut album was called "Nocturne," and they followed it with records like "Requiem" and "Elysium." The band's track "Voudou" became particularly well-known.

Their music often dealt with darker themes, which sometimes drew criticism but also connected with listeners who appreciated its directness. Lyra's voice and Orion's instrumental work remained central to their sound through these albums.

They kept a fairly steady lineup at the core, with other musicians coming and going around them. The group developed a following without much mainstream fanfare, working in their own lane.
