PYTHIA FORUM

Between dark enchantment and disillusion MARKIZE evaluate in rock/metal music with pop, sympho, electro, progressive and dark influences since the day the project of Alina Dunaevskaya and David Verbecq, was born. Their music has for purpose to be opened to everybody, modern and based on French, English and Russian personal lyrics.

After the demo-disc “Poussières de Vie”, well accepted by critics and public, participation in compilation “Contre Vents et Marées” of French Metal in 2006, their first album was recorded together with Franck Chentrier (guitar), Nicolas Thomas (lead guitar) and Gautier Blondeel, and issued on March 2007. Critics (France, Russia, USA, UK) are still fine and public is present.

After their tour in France, Belgium and Holland, particularly with Old Dead Tree, Cult of Luna, Autumn, Eths, Watcha, Markize was invited to play at the Metal Female Voices Fest in October 2008 in Wieze, that assembles every year greatest female fronted metal bands, and to take part in compilation “A world of Sirens” (USA) with the track “Another breath”.

Today, further to stock shortage and to raising demands, “Transparence”- album will be reedited with new tracks in France, and also officialy in Russia, for March 2009.

Review-interviews, among others, in “ROCKCOR MAG” (RUSSIE), “ELEGY” (FR), “METAL HAMMER” (UK)

For more information tell me , I'm from the official Markize Street Team!

They sound pretty good!

and speaking of pretty

Im a guy, leave me alone

Only just got round to checking them out.

Me like.





.

Nice band image and pretty pictures. As for the music, it's quite average. Their music seems to be a cross between Evanescence and Within Temptation, but fails to be as dark and moody as the former, or as enchanted and beautiful as the latter.

Verdict: music for kiddies.

What does it means "kiddies"? lol (this is not on my dictionnary!! )

If you want to join us we have an internationnal section on the forum.

Kiddies = children

Their song list on Myspace sounds like something out of Eurovision, with all those languages! Theres certainly something very appealing about a beautiful woman singing in French and Russian.

Excellent news! Markize is confirmed for the FEMME METAL FESTIVAL who will takes place in Kent!
First headliner band is DELAIN

For more informations : http://markize-forum.frenchboard.com/ma ... k-t567.htm

Its moved to two venues - Birmingham and Essex

The Essex date is the same day as Pythia and Threshold isn't it? Shame, i'd probably have gone to Southend otherwise.

Damn you're right.

Not sure who is playing the Birmingham date the night before.

I'm pretty sure Delain are headlining Brum, with Markize and Apparition both playing there too.

Sounds good - I may have to make a trip to Birmingham. Shame Triaxis are playing the Southend date instead.

The teaser of "Mon Ange" , new videoclip coming soon!!
