French symphonic metal band Kerion features a lyrical choir, as well as metal choirs by Phil Gordana (Fairyland) and a lyrical singer as their guest vocalist. Their albums don cover art by artist JP Fournier (Avantasia, Edguy), and have been mixed in Harkam Studio by Wildric Lievin (Hamka, Fairyland) and Guillaume Serra. "Holy Creatures Quest" shows a powerful symphonic metal sound.
Kerion began as an instrumental Prog Metal band in 1997 under the name of "Kirlian". However, a female singer named Flora then joined the lineup and the band's sound evolved into one which leaned more towards symphonic metal. They released two demos conceptually based on the heroic fantasy tale "Staraxis" written by Chris Barberi: the "Conspiracy of Darkness" and "The Last Sunset".
2008's "Holy Creatures Quest" was the third and final part of Barberi's novel.
As newer fans asked to hear old demos, the band decided to rewrite some of the songs and have a real studio recording, as they were not happy with the quality of the demos. Their second album "The Origins", as its name indicates, is the result of this musical revival.
