Cinematic Symphonic Metal Band KNIGHTS OF HELIOPOLIS Release Single

French Cinematic Symphonic Metallers drop 4ᵗʰ Single & Video:

KNIGHTS OF HELIOPOLIS on “The River Of Life”, the fourth single from the “The Planeswalkers” series: “In this song, the knights of Heliopolis are traveling to the world of Final Fantasy VII, discovering the terrific events happening there for the fate of the planet. They’ll discretely bring their support for the heroes of Gaïa to vanquish evil! The song was made to celebrate the release of the very awaited game ‘Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’ and is also a love letter to the original game!”

KNIGHTS OF HELIOPOLIS: “This new EP is released first as five separate singles. Those single are a bit special compared to what the band usually does. The character of our story, the knights of Heliopolis, in addition to being alchemists and in accordance to this same craft, are what we called « planeswalkers ». That means they can travel between worlds and dimensions. The stories happening in this EP are not happening in the chronology of the main narrative arc of the story contained in the EP ‘The Last Guardian’ and the album ‘Ferrum Fero Ferro Feror’. You can see them as side stories that could happen anywhere in the timeline of the Helioverse.”

About:

KNIGHTS OF HELIOPOLIS was born in the mind of Axel de Montalembert. Passionate of music, heroic-fantasy, esoterism and history, he created the story of Phoebus and his companions, the Knights Of Heliopolis, melting together heroic-fantasy and history.

To translate his great tale into music, he needed a composer that could write for a metal band and a full orchestra to give to the story the epic breath it needed. He then met Adrien Djouadou and together, they created the whole concept of KNIGHTS OF HELIOPOLIS.

Axel would write the lyrics and naturally, sing them and Adrien would compose the whole music, play the guitar and do the backing vocals. But KNIGHTS OF HELIOPOLIS needed musicians, so they found a great team to play with them on this journey : Noémie Allet on the bass and vocals, Adrien Guingal on the guitar and Guillaume Remih on the drums. Each member of the band would represent a character in the story of the Knights of Heliopolis.

Naturally, KNIGHTS OF HELIOPOLIS became a symphonic metal band with a whole conceptual and visual universe. Note that the band was first named PHOEBUS THE KNIGHT but changed in December 2023 for KNIGHTS OF HELIOPOLIS to follow the plot of the story.

We value quality in music, production and work invested by involved parties.

KNIGHTS OF HELIOPOLIS finds its roots in bands like Nightwish, Epica, Within Temptation, Powerwolf, Rhapsody Of Fire, Cradle of Filth …
