The band "Lyriel" from Gummersbach (Germany) established itself in the autumn 2003. Three of the seven musicians originate from the metal band "Sorrowsend", which already exists since 1994. One member and also mastermind of Lyriel, Oliver Thierjung (guitar), decided to found a side project with Jessica. Two other Sorrowsend members also joined the new project: Sven Engelmann (bass) and Daniel de Beer (drums). They chose to add some other instruments. Thus Martin Ahman (keyboard), Linda Laukamp (cello) and Joon Laukamp (violin) joined the band and Lyriel was born. 　　Waypoints of several related music directions are melting to a union of melodies and a completely own new style! The songs of Lyriel rang from sensitive, dreamy ballads, sometimes in a medieval style up, to hard pieces and classical arrangements and elements of folk. On top of this all, Jessica's strong but gentle voice brings a melodic and very special vibe into the music and holds it all together. She emphasises it all with her beauty and personality on stage and it will take you along, if only you want to. The fact that violin and cello do not come from the keyboard, but they were all played live on stage, stands for the characteristic of Lyriel.
