Album Description
With their third release, Griefshire, Elis has reached a career climax, delivering bombastic Gothic Metal that is beautifully carried by the vocal strength of frontlady Sabine Duenser. Elis continues to explore the extremes, pushing forth with even more aggressive riffs and faster songs, while still emphasizing midtempo tracks and a refined ballad-like feel. In this regard, Griefshire is the next logical step in the history of Elis: A compact and mature Gothic Metal album that is never monotonous, nor pretended. The special Ltd. Edition comes housed in digipak format and contains the bonus track, Heaven And Hell.

A loving and fitting tribute to Sabine Dunser February 10, 2007

Even after a few months, this Elis fan is still reeling over the sudden and untimely death of singer Sabine Dunser. Thank heavens her final work with her band Elis was recorded prior to her death for metal fans to hear. It is almost ironic in a somber way that part of the album title has the word "grief" in it and I am still grieving for the loss of this talented singer.
"Griefshire" is a 53 minute opus of aggressive yet melodic gothic metal. The album is a perfect follow up to the 2005 release "A Dark Cloud in a Perfect Sky". The music picks up where the previous album left off. Guitarists Pete and Christian Gruber provides the aggressive edge to the music. The guitar riffs never drowns out Sabine's delicate vocals. The rhythm section of Tom Saxer and Max Naescher is steady and reliable to the rest of the band, providing a meaty sound to the band's gothic metal sound. I will admit that the band doesn't offer anything new or adventurous to their sound but then again neither does the legendary hard rock band AC/DC. I enjoyed "Griefshire" with bittersweet tears and immense satisfaction. The ballads on "Griefshire" really moved me the most especially the song "How Long". I thought all of the songs on the cd is classic Elis.
The metal has lost a truly lost a talented singer in Sabine Dunser. Sabine had a voice of an angel. Thank heavens I am able to listen to her one more time via "Griefshire". I am pleased that the band has continued to soldier on with a new singer. It will be interesting how well her voice will mesh with the band.

Sadly this is Sabine's last album since she passed away. Her vocals will always live on. Griefshire is a really great album as well as different from their previous albums. I really loved the cover song of Heaven and Hell.

Not as strong as "Dark Clouds" but nice to listen to. But seeing as this is the last time we will get here Sabine, this will always be special.
Wonderful tribute to Sabine March 3, 2007

I bought this album and I love it. This is the best they could do in Sabine's memory. I love all the tracks but in particular, I like Phoenix from the Ashes, Innocent hearts, Forgotten Love, The Burning, and Heaven and Hell. The bonus track makes the album even better, it's very much like the actual Black Sabbath song only with Sabine's voice. As the Description says, Elis is not mononotnous, not pretending. I would give this album 10.5/10. It excels and is the best album I own!
