Betray-Ed

Betray-Ed is a french one man band playing atmospheric/melancholic/minimalist metal, with a medieval/folk touch. François (who also goes by the pseudonym "Walran") is the mind behind this multi-faceted project, not only is he the main composer for Betray-Ed, but he also happens to be multi-talented, taking care of such duties like keyboards/vocals & producer, though friends & guests are invited to play cithare, guitars & bass.

It is a music that is closely tied to nature and the ups & down of Life. Not only in it's atmospheres but also in its lyrics and themes, usually incorporating dreamy/calming sounds and textures to give the listener a sense of escapism and or liberty from the restraint of human existence. Fifth full length, "Woods of Eternity", was released by Noori Records (http://noorirecords.wordpress.com) the 17th of May 2010 as a strictly limited 30 copies edition. François is currently working on the seventh full lenght, which should be released in 2011. More information to come soon...
