Early works bear elements of Heavenly Voices and poppier 90s Apocalyptic Folk, e.g. Dead Can Dance and Love Spirals Downwards. Newer songs will be more up-tempo, enriched by ambient sounds and classic instruments.

Founded 1996 by Marion and Gernot more as a hobby than as a serious band Pilori quickly managed to gain some local popularity by supporting live shows of Sol Invictus, Hekate, Sieben, Shadow Project and many others booked by dear friends Mother Dance. 1999 the well-known German label [Trinity] - today Trisol - got in touch with them and signed them up. Within the next four years Pilori released the Albums "Soufre", "...and when the twilight's gone (la recolte)" and the very gloomy "Zeit des Lichts" and gigs lead them throughout different countries in Europe like Spain, Portugal, France, the Netherlands and Belgium. In Germany they played also many gigs and three well received shows on the famous Wave-Gotik-Treffen in fabulous Leipzig. The melancholic and enchanting music, lead by the beautiful voice of Marion, found lots of friends in those years.
After the release of their musically most complex, reflective and melancholic fourth album "Elegia" a major change occured, when 2004 Pilori - who despite of several musicians helping out in live shows insisted on staying a duo - were expanded by a third full time member Inge Breichler, a godess on the viola.
After a long break and a long and exhausting working process the last chapter will soon be opened: On January the 16th 2009 Trisol will release Pilori's final masterpiece "Until The Day Dawn"! The album will be available as a beautiful digipack and contain all 16(!) songs the trio wrote and recorded over the last four years.
Dear Marion, Gernot and Inge, Thank you a lot for the add. It's honour for me. Your wonderful music is very important part of my life since I've heard your …And When The Twilight's Gone(La Recolte)first time many years ago:)And it's really great that Pilori come back wit new album this year. I like Until The Day Dawn very much! I hope you'll re-release your debut cd sometime because I havenot it in my collection - unfortunately this jewel was sold out long ago. All the best and greetings from Russia!
