Band Info

Leaves’ Eyes is a symphonic metal band with folk metal elements from Stavanger, Norway and Ludwigsburg, Germany. The band assembled in 2003, shortly before singer Liv Kristine was fired from Theatre of Tragedy. Leaves’ Eyes was formed by Liv with her husband, Alexander Krull, and members of his band, Atrocity. The band combines atmospheric metal and classical elements. The vocals of Liv Kristine are occasionally backed up by death growls from Alexander Krull, but on many songs she sings alone. Liv Kristine created the band name, which is a homophone for the way “Liv’s Eyes” is pronounced by a Norwegian. “Leaves” is connected to nature, which has always been the biggest inspiration for her. Liv Kristine writes all of the lyrics for the band.
