Elora is formed by six members in 2004, where the main musicians come from Marseille, France. It is indeed, and we can consider this band as a recent masterpiece, with a high proportion of motivation, full of amazing musical inspiration, with a high level of professionalism, that together, show high musical feeling, both in the songs and lyrics and, especially, in their live performances, therefore, with all these nice attributes, we can say that, Elora are already a new chapter in the scene of Modern Progressive Rock in this new millennium. The musicians on the band, know how to exploit some modern musical references, adding many elements from Symphonic Progressive Rock, Prog Metal, Melodic Metal and Art-Rock where, sometimes, the musical passages are melodic and symphonic, with richly textured layers very well arranged, adorned by enjoyable keyboard sounds. The drums are, sometimes, composed with some accelerated passages, but in most cases presents a soft rhythm, in the symphonic rock line. Beautiful guitar solos are always present into the songs. The vocals are comprised in two ways, the voices are divided among Anastasia Moussali, with sweet vocals tone, who alternating with Damien Dahan, but both singing in French, he sings using powerfull vocal tones, but not so agressive, where we can listen a perfect interplay between both singers, alternating, all time, around strong, clear and sweet voices also, given an superb impact to all the instrumental, all very well arranged to create a perfect emotional atmosphere. Elora and their album "Crash", is one of those surprises that suddenly appear, which, of course, can quickly captivate many fans because they know how to express the most varied feelings and emotions through their beautiful music. I absolutely guarantee you that, on the album "Crash", you won't be able to resist songs like "Se Taire", "Années Lumière", "Ici Encore", "Espoire - Part I and Espoire - Part II", these songs are amazing, "Contrôle", "En Paix" and "Crash". If you like the musical style from bands such as "Pink Floyd", "Riverside", "Weend'o", "Frost*", "Blind Ego", "Paatos", "Children In Paradise", "The Flower Kings", "Porcupine Tree", "Karmakanic", "Agents Of Mercy", "Spock's Beard" and so on. "Crach" it's a must acquisition album for all Progressive Rock lovers. Brilliant and fantastic, an amazing album and band, highly recommendable... The

ELORA
Elora was born in 2004. She is the daughter of Jean-Vincent Fillipini. Another Elora was born in 2005: A band! The band of Jean-Vincent (bass), Lionel Giacobbé (guitar), Sébastien Vigne (drums) and Patrice Cannone (keyboards). Two voices complete the outfit from Marseille, France: Anastasia Moussali and Damien Dahan.
Little Elora inspired the creation and the imagination of the band. It's a progressive rock band with several influences, ranging from the 70's like "Genesis", "Pink Floyd" and "Magma", to modern acts like "Porcupine Tree", "Lazuli" or "Riverside". An influence is an influence and they are modeling influences like a parent can do with his child. Their rock is strong and melodic, sometimes deep and full with melancholy.
In the beginning Elora did a lot of local shows around Marseille to earn some money for an album release. The result was a 4 track self released EP in 2010 and an invitation to the Prog Sud festival. In the meantime a new drummer joined Elora - Julien Beaumont. 2013 will be the year to become more public. With the debut under their belt, invitations to five renowned european Prog festivals are confirmed. Prog Sud and Crescendo in France; Veruno Prog in Italy; Prog66 Meeting in Belgium and the Progressive Promotion Festival in Germany, the home of their record label.
