Adrana

Adrana is a female fronted symphonic metal band, formed in 2004 by Maxime Dugué and Ludovic Dupraz . They are soon joined by the soprano singer Anaé . Grhyll and Emeric Derrien joined the band as keyboard and bass players. After months of composing and rehearsals, the band recorded its first demo at New Dream Studio (Descartes, France). The Tower of Frozen Tears was released in 2006, followed by the first album, Perturbatio , in 2008, again recorded at New Dream studios. Kavöx (Aboroth and Crackhouse singer) and Sylvain were guests on this album, on the songs "Mortelle fourberie enfantine", "L'Eveil de Markius" and "Mortualia"; this was the first time the band used male voices (grunts and lyrical). This first release told the first chapter of Adrana's adventures. The band developed a whole heroic-fantasy story along its songs. The second chapter of the Adrana story was developed on the album The Ancient Realms , in which Adrana reaches for allies in the fire and ice lands. This album was separated in two parts. The first one told the ice lands adventures, the second one the fire lands. The recording process took place at Drudenhaus Studio, engineered by Neb Xort ( Anorexia Nervosa ) during the summer in 2010. This time, the band used real choir, and Bestial ( Fimbulvetr ) was guests on the song "Obsidian Collapses". The Ancient Realms was released on September 2012 on the French Brennus Music label, and a French tour followed. The band opened for Patrick Rondat and Myrath . Dub joined the band on 2013 as a guitar player. At this time, the band began to compose for their next record. On September 20th 2013, Adrana released its first music video, for the song "The Frozen Path", from The Ancient Realms album.
