   About Lilitu


Within a music scene inundated by stagnation, fashion worship, and cookie-cutter clones, Lilitu achieves something rarely accomplished; turning real life into art. Their music literally pulses with the full, unabridged lexicon of human emotion and expression, which is delivered as a solid and focused force that alternately pulls the heartstrings and crushes the sternum. Snubbing stereotypes and standing in defiance of clichés, Atlanta's Lilitu has made the worldwide buzz that is growing about their music undeniable. Never pretentious, never conformist, never holding back.

Formed in 1996 by enigmatic front man Henry Derek Bonner, Lilitu's music has always represented pure emotional expression. The 1999 release of The Earth Gods, found Lilitu examining the struggles of existence and the evolution of the human condition. With 2001s release of Memorial, the band delved into the realms of tragedy and solitude. Released worldwide in September of 2004 on The End Records, The Delores Lesion has received remarkably positive press throughout the world, garnering top ratings in magazines and online reviews alike. Weaving a story of exploitation and betrayal with deft and richly harmonic riffs, compelling melodies, and lyrics of truth, tragedy, and passion, The Delores Lesion leads the listener through the depths of adversity that brought it to fruition.

Like life itself, Lilitu's story plays out on the stage... a place they are no stranger to, having shared many with the likes of , In Flames, Arch Enemy, Cradle of Filth, Opeth, Trivium, Lacuna Coil, Death by Stereo, The Kovenant, Nevermore and many more. On the live front the band completed the 5 week International Extreme Metal Festival 2005 Tour which brought them to stages across the U.S. and Canada all through September and in to October with bill-mates God Dethroned, Nightrage, Manntis, Hell Within, Thine Eyes Bleed, Epoch Of Unlight, Atrocity, and Leaves Eyes among others. New Lilitu fans were born each night, won over by the groups powerful performances, showmanship, and ability to move listeners in ways only the genuine article can accomplish.

2008 will bring new exciting things for Lilitu. One being a triumphant return to the forefront of the metal genre, re-establishing their role as an elite tour de force. Having already maintaining cult status, the band is working on a new album which will re-define and expand the band's original sound. Combining elements of traditional European folk, neo-classical, progressive rock, experimental-avant garde and old-school black metal, the primary influence for the upcoming gem stems from the Romanian philosopher, E. M. Cioran. The album is tentatively titled, "Directions For Decomposition: Variations On Death" and will be completed by Summer 2008.

DISCOGRAPHY:

Our Vessels Of The Sea demo 1996

Servants Of Twilight demo 1997

The Earth Gods 1999

Memorial 2001

The Delores Lesion 2004

White Nights In A Day Room, Black Sun In The Daytime 2006 Unreleased

Directions For Decomposition: Variations On Death 2008 Forthcoming

Lilitu's enchanting, heavily melancholic sound is lush and deeply moody. Their command of rich harmony and sweeping, expressive dynamics is amazing. - Terrorizer

Lilitu doesnt rest on one style very long, rather they embrace the challenge of creating music with passion and intellect, adding fragments of styles to the music, as if the were painters adding colors to a canvas as the music goes along. - Unrestrained
