Eleine are a Swedish metal band formed in 2014, notable for their "dark symphonic metal" sound,[1] with influences from black metal, death metal and thrash metal.
In 2011, vocalist Madeleine Liljestam was approached by the CEO of Cardiac Records, who "had been following (her) blog for over a year and wanted to begin a collaboration with her." They were joined by guitarist/growler and songwriter Rikard Ekberg in 2012.[3] Christian Wolf also produced and songwrote for them.[4][5] Liljestam's nickname "Eleine" was used as a name of the band. She had also been doing alternative modeling, which contributed to her image as a lead singer.[6][7]
