Biography

Benighted Soul is a french lyric metal band created in 2003. The concept of the band is based on the combination of a lyric voice and a metal music and particularly on the contrast that comes from the confrontation of these two musical environments. In this style, nowadays represented by many bands, Benighted Soul succeeded in distinguishing from the rest and found its own path, its originality. The lyrics, mostly inspired by Greek and Egyptian myths, give to the songs an epic and exotic atmosphere that now defines Benighted Soul's music.

Although the band exist since 2003 (with Geraldine Gadaut as vocalist, Jean-Gabriel Bocciarelli as bass-player and Jeyms as guitarist) and already peformed live with great bands as Imperial Sodomy and Aborted , it took a brand new start in 2006. The line-up changed : Nicolas Adam joined the band as drummer and Flavien Morel as keyboard player. At the final level of the Emergenza festival, the band finished at the 3rd position and Nicolas won the best drummer price. Benighted Soul performed on stage with Fairyland during the Rock For Life II festival, and with Vader, Belphegor, Insane and X-Vision one month later.

The two new musicians have brought a new inspiration and they enriched the songs with their different musical esperiences. That’s why Benighted Soul needed to realize a new EP, Anesidora, wich was released at the beginning of 2008.

Reviews

"The sublim symphonic arrangements made by Flavien Morel give an epic side to Benighted Soul’s music, music that will make them able to compete with the best international bands of their style very soon"

"Blood of Achilles, the instrumental track, would fit a movie soundtrack, and will take you to an epic and dark universe, as music from Tim Burton's movies does."
 Des filles et des riffs

"Fairytale shows an uncommon groove, which prove that the musicians in Benighted Soul have others influences than the ones expected. Their technical control and their creativity are really surprising for a first EP. They show they really can give a fascinating and powerful music."
