Llvme

Asturian Folk Metal Duo

Llvme is a Doom-Black-Folk band formed in Salamanca (Spain) by members of other Spanish veteran metal bands. The root of Llvme is the Black Metal band Chaotic Hope, band that reached certain renown in the European underground scene due to their two albums. The music of Llvme is based on a doom metal style whose influences are taken from My Dying Bride and Shape of Despair. Also Llvme has a Black Metal touch that remembers us to the first albums of Negura Bunget and a folk influence thanks to the use of violins and bagpipes that evoke Celtic and Pagan passages. In July of 2007, Nandu, keyboard player of Chaotic Hope, decided to create a new band because of the inactivity of Chaotic Hope. After composing several songs, other people from the bands Chaotic Hope and K-OS joined Llvme. The lyrics are inspired in the destructive power of fire and the glorious past of our region. All of them are written in Leonese language, the native language of the ancient Kingdom of Leon, Spanish region where the members of the band are from. After the recording at the end of 2007, a demo called “Llumeiru de Fueu” and after the dissolution of Chaotic Hope, Llvme starts working hard on this new project. The band keep on writing and composing new songs until 2009, when they decide to record a studio album called “Fogeira de Sueños”, released by the Italian label My Kingdom Music in April 2010. In November 2010 Llvme changed its line-up: Nacho, Lord Valius and Oskar K-os left the band and Eric, David and Huevo joined Llvme. Llvme is a Leonese word that means “fire”.
