Eye of Melian
Welcome to the official Eye of Melian YouTube channel!
Eye of Melian is ethereal and symphonic movie score music with vocals - unfolding epic and elegant storyscapes in the listener’s mind.
Their debut album 'Legends of Light' was released on June 21, 2022!
Eye of Melian is the brainchild of Dutch songwriter and producer Martijn Westerholt, known for Delain and Within Temptation. As the main songwriter of the metal band Delain, Martijn wanted an outlet to create lush orchestral fantasy music. He teamed up with American lyricist Robin La Joy, a life-long fantasy enthusiast who spends much of her time immersed in books, particularly the works of Tolkien. They were joined by successful Finnish solo artist Johanna Kurkela whose angelic voice quickens the fantasy to full life. Also contributing to the project is Finnish orchestral arranger and producer Mikko P. Mustonen whose incredible talent in classical arranging adds the final magical touch to the music.

A huge thank you to all of you who have supported us on #Kofi ☕️ (link below) by "buying us a potion"!! 💫💖⚡️ All donations go directly to the creation/production of new music! 🎶✨
➡️ ko-fi.com/eyeofmelian 💫
We had so much fun creating the "EoM Apothecary" and hope you enjoyed perusing the potions instead of simply donating a "virtual coffee" (which is, in our opinion, a tad too mundane for Eye of Melian 😉).
We lift our glasses (and potion bottles) to you!! Cheers! 😄🥂🙏
Your support is appreciated more than you know! 🥰
Have a magical week, everyone!! ✨
