ABOUT LILLITH
Lillith is a quartet with music that can be described as a black clad rock inspired from 70's colorful scenes. A combination of these four musicians create a band with a distinctive sound. The female vocalist Camilla Hell stands out with her unique voice, accompanied by a soulful band.

Lillith has played many concerts in different arenas. In June 2009 they supported Dengue Fever (US) at John Dee, Oslo. Lillith has chosen to play for different types of audiences, including in prison, where the band was picked up by the ferry over to the island to play for the inmates (05/03/2009)

Lillith consists of Camilla Hell on vocals, Per-Christian Frantzen on guitar, Gregorius Grim Knockelkatt on cello and bass, and Espen "Kvist" Engrønningen on drums. The band members are collected from different musical environments, therefore Lillith is inspired from several music genres, such as 70s rock, metal and alternative country.


What the press are saying:

Bubblegum Slut Fanzine - UK
"Probably no one has looked very hard for the missing link between 70's psychedelica and the black hearted "American gothic" strain of alt-country but trust us it's a better crossbreed on tape than on paper, and one well-worth travelling to Norway to discover in the shape of Lillith. With notes of Jefferson Airplane's vision of a haunting wonderland, "Stillborn Fight" is an aptly spooky,trippy introduction to recent debut album "Once I Was Alive"
(...) "Lillith are a curious act but one quite enchanting for it. Album artwork borrowed from a Tim Burton Fairtytale, the darkly romantic touches of cellos and eerie musical sa,w and the exaggerated warble and rasps of one Camilla Hell's delicate vocals will endear the Norwegian- four piece to young Goths, whose parents in turn will be able to track their dark sound to another generation of strung out music rebels. Hell's closest reference point as a vocalist is without doubt Grace Slick, the surrealist Jefferson Airplane stamp running throughout the ebbing and flowing guitar melodies that underpin her, while the quivering strings and strain of gutter poetry (picked up again in a closing cover of the Stones "Sister Morphine") nod to the Velvet underground. Real black magic and a must hear".

Lillith appear to be a band without alot of hype surrounding them yet. Debut album "once i was alive" is a bizarre fusion of black clad jazz and soul and a unique female female voice that could melt hearts or stop them with disgust. And by black clad, do no expect some kind of Darkthrone lounger music. Norwegian frontwoman Camilla Hell has a spine chilling, country influenced voice which is not expected from the band photo as she stands with a background of cellos,semi accoustic guitar and simplistic drum kit. For a debut album it shows potential, each song telling a different emotion and certainly showing Lillith eclectic influences from. There seems to be alot of alternative crosover genres happening at the moment, be it Diablo Swing Orchestra's crazily dark swing music or the The Devil's Blood being the most unexpected candidate for the extreme metal festival circuit. However, if this is anything to go by perhaps Lillith could be in the running for a chance as well.
