It's a shame Liv has left the band but Elina has a great voice, and all the songs they have released with her have been solid imo.

She didn't leave the band. She just got fired because Alex didn't want her anymore, eventhough it's Liv's Band at the first place.

I've got ban on their FB page, when I asked if their new album will have unlistenable brickwalled sound as their previous albums. :D Alexander's production is really awful.

he was right. if you don't like his music you have all rights for it, but wtf you tried to jeer at him? i think it's offensive joke. what kind of reaction did you expect to get? he is a human too...

"unlistenable brickwalled sound" is an acceptable and polite question for you? it is NOT ok to write such mocking comments to composer/artist/anyone else who creates something. especially in internet where you feel you can do it easily. (

Yes, it is. It's the most decent way to say that. Btw, I'm a composer too and I heard a lot of worse things about my work and i haven't banned anyone yet.

Crap, I forgot Liv left the band. I think the latest album is still okay, but now I'm re-thinking going to see them when they come to my town on Saturday (I haven't bought tickets yet)...

Agreed, but the top track chart here has always been pretty nonsense. The all-time chart has a huge number of extra listeners on Norwegian Lovesong and Into Your Light, because for years only those two tracks were playable on Lastfm, when there were a lot more users. (And as with every 2000's artist, the all-time chart's count of users is dominated by what people were listening to 2005-2009.)

It's sad to see one of my favorite bands die. Without Liv, this is just another normal band. She was the heart of Leave's Eyes. I hope she will continue stronger. Njord is an incredible album.

Well, Liv's voice was my first love, and Leaves' Eyes remains my #2 band with 5700 plays. But the music itself was undeniably always a huge part of it. It's been hit-or-miss since Njord IMO, but KoK was very good and that distinctive sound is still there now. It actually surprises me a little to realize that I'm in such a minority in terms of how much the Leaves' Eyes sound means to me.

Where did I say that I didn't liked KOK or that Liv's voice is weak, inferior or normal? Please, read my comment again. I said I'm not enjoying this band after she left the band, this means "now". I love Liv, I love her voice and I love how special she was for this band. She's one of my goddess. Please, read again.

The reason why I brought up KoK was to make a general statement of my opinion on their music. If I hadn't clarified that, it would have sounded like I love all of their music even including all of SotN. :P My second post was a musing, a whimsical reflection on the irony of the situation. Not directed at you.

I think you should read what I wrote once again. I said this is another normal band WITHOUT Liv, not with her. With her, this was one of my favorite bands. Without her (this means: now) I don't see a difference between the majority of others bands. For me, Liv was the heart of the band, not only with her voice, but with her lyrics too. She was special.

I should add - the view that the music was always mediocre, and that fans were only listening for Liv's voice, is as old as the band. It pissed me off when I started listening to them, and it pisses me off now. It's like Tarja's solo project: there are plenty of songs I don't enjoy, or think are average or worse, some of which I've listened to just for the vocals, and some of which I've ignored. But don't try to tell me the music of songs like Twilight Sun or Innocence is just like "another normal band." Them's fighting words.

I really didn't like the EP. Elina sounds kind of jarring, singing the same tone through all of the songs. I'm sure she can do more, but it isn't audible here. The new song couldn't possibly be more generic, don't think the band were overly excited about this. Well, I'll still listen to the eventual full-lenght.

"Fires in the North" doesn't seem particularly enticing to me, it's not an EP as much as it is a glorified single. I get that they want to show off their new vocalist and that's all well and good but why only give us one new song? Why mostly rerecord songs that have been out for little over a year?

Wow, yeah, Liv's Facebook page is... gone. Sounds like the next album may have a "Master Passion Therapist" track on it ;P "When Liv and Alex split up personally early January, Liv wanted to leave the band right away. But Alex convinced her to stay with the band..." "But since February her new fiancee / therapist tried to interfere in a lot of band matters. He talked very bad about LEAVES’ EYES and that shows, tours and interviews shouldn’t happen without him anymore. Her fiancee / therapist even told Liv to step aside from the band." "Yes, we will continue using viking concepts..." "Alex’ father and family are coming from the area of the legendary 'Jomsvikings' and my mother and mothers family are coming from the area of 'Haithabu (Heiðabýr)' the old viking trade capital." I'm amazed that Tosso wrote "moreover" twice, I always thought that was a Liv thing! Maybe it's contagious? I didn't know Elina was Tuomas' cousin. :P

vv I do like Kristen, but I couldn't get into the new Flyleaf album. I like Lacey's solo album much better. :) I didn't even like Lacey's voice when I first heard them in 2007. Thought Tarja sounded weird at first, too (which she does, actually). Liv on the other hand, The Dream, instant love. A revelation. :P My favorite LE video is Elegy... actually I never even watched the Hell to the Heavens or The Waking Eye videos (and I own KoK on CD) :D v My problem was that although I can remember wanting to listen to rock music mixed with orchestration for a very long time, I just didn't explore music. I had the thought that I should look for it to see if it existed, but I never got around to actually doing that. Then I accidentally (and gradually) discovered symphonic metal over a year after I joined Lastfm, via the "female fonted metal" tag, the female voice being my other great interest. I only joined Lastfm because an online friend I'd known since 2001 had uploaded his new album here.

I feel like I'm not qualified to judge since I only listened to it once and didn't want to listen to it again... well, there's that :/ I'd still like to see them perform old songs. Which is how a lot of people feel about Floorwish. I'm the opposite way about Leaves' Eyes, I want to hear Elina on new songs :P

well I was 13 or 14 maybe in 2007,2006 so yehh hehe.it was my favorite year like in everything not only music .Lacuna coil - comalies ,Karmacode.Epica - Consign to oblivion - The phantom Agoney - .After forever -Decipher .Leaves Eyes - Vinland Saga- Legend Land .Flyleaf - Flyleaf .Xandria - Ravenheart - India -The Sevneth Vail . Kamelot - Epica -The black hole .cradle of filth nymphetamine and More .... in between those 2 years were many golden memories that I want to cry some tears of joy When I remember them. NW,EV,WT I knew them before in 2003,2004 at that time it was sooo Hard to get their music it was the mission impossible but then I tried Downloading their music through Aries when internet started Rising with better speed, back in the day.also add My knowledge of english was almost zero so that made it even more harder to understand how to download them from The internet.BTW I knew what last.fm was but I haven't any idea what was it for or how to deal with it back then lol .

Memento Mori,is Great album If I had signed into last.fm much earler I think Flyleaf would get thounds of listens from me into last.fm ,since their songs re short Timing also lyraicly so good I loved a lot their first 2 afforts with lacey ,though Now I feel its a band for teengers now haha.In The dark I think is The best song on it.Njord Was Their best Because They worked hard on it to make it a breakthrough for them which it did in way ,it has brought a lot of new fans.Even their video Destiny is still their most watched and I love its art cover though of liv very photoshopped breasts.VS was Cool Album just like lovelorn but with much better production and quality,its very clear If u compare The two.BTW they did it after just one year from lovelorn release so it seems they weren't big fans of the overall results since it was too low budget album. VS best song in my opinion is The thorn along with Ankomst ,Morning Tree has a very perfect lyrics.

I asked "a friend of Liv" (I'm about 75% inclined to believe this) about Liv having a "lebensgefährten" (romantic partner) and she says Liv "was not unfaithful," but may have brought "her date" to the meeting the infamous legal document was written in. She seems to be saying that Liv didn't start "dating" until after she and Alex had already separated, but I don't want to pester her further about it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9GU7JKCHIc&google_comment_id=z12ht5aqiufxvjhcc23ejbcxgwnvxtzch

Post from a guitarist of EnkeliNation: "I can verify that Elina was contacted at very short notice by the band and was not even told what it was about, just offered a plane ticket over to Germany. The 'new' song was already recorded with Simone Simmons (sic) originally on vocals but Elina learned and re-recorded it in a day. This is a very sudden thing, and Elina has not been sneaking around behind anyone's back or anything like that. She's a singer hired to do a job, and it's not her band so she should have no blame or hate over this. She learned the songs to perform in front of 21,000 people in 2 weeks." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9GU7JKCHIc&lc=z12bgvdypnznhrc1p22jvjia3qvptb4za04 So that means the band waited two or three months to contact her, after deciding to fire Liv near the start of the year. What, did they first try twenty other vocalists and get told "No way you cray" by all of them?

I've heard it said your favorite year of music will be whenever you were 15, but I was 22 in mine - 2009. Design Your Universe (and The Classical Conspiracy), Njord, April Rain, Flyleaf - Memento Mori, Caspian - Tertia, Saosin - In Search of Solid Ground, The Gathering - The West Pole, Sonata Arctica - The Days of Grays, Michael Giacchino - Star Trek, Ayumi Hamasaki - NEXT LEVEL, Misty Edwards - Fling Wide, Project 86 - Picket Fence Cartel, Switchfoot - Hello Hurricane, Jackie Evancho - Prelude To A Dream, live bootleg of Nightwish - The Heart Asks Pleasure First (which sounded better and had better misheard lyrics than the eventual actual release, also I was a Michael Nyman fan before Nightwish so this was amazing), Sirenia - The 13th Floor (mostly bad but I didn't care), Theatre of Tragedy - Forever is the World... and many great songs from other albums.

Njord is my #2 top played album of all time (and #1, Memento Mori, is only there because I listened to Arise 840 times) but there are songs on it I don't like that I listened to many times because I was still in LE fever when it came out :P Vinland Saga is one of the most effective concept albums I've ever heard, thanks to its solid blend of a historic epic journey and Liv's romantic fanfiction, but there aren't many songs on it I'd call amazing... except Twilight Sun, one of the most perfect songs I've ever heard. I don't know, I'm no connoisseur of production so someone else will have to comment on that. I hear a change in style between Lovelorn and VS, but not a change in quality...?

@nDroae Hi There :D I have always criticized last.fm Softwar back then .But I can't Believe How Bad this one ! I would back to the old software any second If it was passable . Last.fm cummnity is almost dead ,Hopfuly last.fm makers will make some changes in future but I don't Think I would see anything in The near furure unless some ages and eras went by . For Me Njord is The best ,though it has some problems mostly in its production Like Liv voice being completely pushed beyond The Different instruments . I believe every each album of theirs has a bad as much as Good Points for example Vinland saga has a perfect guitar sound unlike its poor electronic orchestra . also there is huge difference between the 2 ! so how come its the same ? BTW I miss physical Albums . 2003,2004,2005 were The last days of That golden era of music My Favorite years of Music ,though for many different reasons 2007 is still My all time favorite year till now . nostalgia is killing me Oh :P

Hey Zain :) I think that's mainly because Lovelorn used to be the only album available on Lastfm radio, long, long ago, when Lastfm was a streaming service. I wrote in the Ayumi Hamasaki shoutbox: "The all-time stats everywhere on Lastfm are static and dull, and embarrassingly showcase what was being listened to most around 2007-2010, when Lastfm had a far larger user base than it has now. It's truly ironic that what was meant to be a new Lastfm for the future ended up being so defined by the past." Lovelorn is the most popular album among Liv's classic gothic metal fans, but I think the fanbase overall is fairly split as to which of the first four albums is best (the first two being the general favorites). Lovelorn is one of the few albums I've bought physically after buying it digitally, and I don't notice any production difference between it and Vinland Saga.

Thinking more about fantasy vs. history, their album themes in order have been fantasy, history, Norse mythology, folklore, literature/history, and history, so never doing history again wouldn't be as much of a departure as I was feeling. Regarding Elina, right, she can't do "airy" vocals like Liv, but lately Liv had mostly been trying to do an epic "operatic" style instead, so it might as well be Elina as far as I'm concerned. She needs new songs, though. And any more garbage music like Hell to the Heavens, I won't give a second listen. And yeah, the legal document posted by the band mentioned that Liv has a therapist/lover (romantic partner in the German version), something which seems to have mainly escaped attention.

Since this is now Featured Comment, here's mine from May 4: "The band announced that Liv will continue to record her solo albums at Mastersound Studios, though it's hard to see why considering what Liv and her allies have been saying. On the other hand, if Liv and Raymond do make a record, it will definitely not be with Alex. :P"

OH My Holy God ! Elina is a horrible Singer.I have always Loved liv airy mezzo-soprano Singing voice But At The same Time I don't Mind her departure ,But For God Sake Couldn't They pick a better Singer who can replace an iconic Singer like liv ? at least to ease The pressure that is coming from The fans . Alex pretty scentless flower is Not Innocent ! she knew What type of meal alex was cooking up in liv 's kitchen, she just waited for it on the table to be handed to her by alex 's hands to be tasted by her, in Front of Alex's Eyes .If She was good person she wouldn't allow herself to be in such position in first place but she didn't care ,Maybe becuse she is truly Alex rose ,or she is just immoral person ( a opportunist )so by that Logic I stand on liv 's side .So how come Elina has Nothing to do with all of this ? THOUGH ! there is chance that both parties re playing a media Game on Us . We shall Never Forget that those type of media clashes re Good way for Marketing
