Alerion is a Female Fronted / Progressive Metal band. The 2007 self-produced demo album Fledgling is fully available on Last.fm as a free download.

Several reviews of the demo album Fledgling have been done, with more coming up. We are a bit overwhelmed by them actually, because they're all so positive. All reviews are listed on our website at http://www.alerion.nl/press.html

For those who don't want to read all the reviews, I have listed some memorable quotes taken from them:

"And after four songs I know, that ALERION is something different and maybe even special in a way. It’s hard to compare them to any other band in the overfloaded metal scene. Which is good and it means that they’re one of a kind. Mix heavy metal with prog metal and add some female vocals to it. Shake this very well and add some chili for the powerful flavour. Voila, the ALERION taste is ready."

"Clearly, Alerion is a promising young band with plenty of potential. With the right vocalist, their strong musicianship now affords them the opportunity to better define their sound."
- Femmemetalwebzine.com - February 8th, 2008.

"En effet les titres sont bien composés et complexes sans tomber dans le coté démonstratif et ennuyeux. Un groupe qui a du potentiel, on attend l'album!"

"Overall this disc does a very good job of showcasing the versatility of the band and the diversity of their "sound". They have a great marketing strategy and good tunes. Those attributes, coupled with their youth and enthusiasm give them an opportunity for a real career."
- Hardrockhaven.net - October 12th, 2007.

"They have the chops and just need a little work on the chemistry. Keep your eyes open for Alerion in the near future… "

"Fledgling proves to be an excellent debut album recorded in only a short amount of time. Alerion is a band that should be checked out and closely watched."

"This band deserves your attention. This cd so happens to be a grower, so live with it and you will reap the rewards!"
- Ravenheart Music - September 20th, 2007.

"This is a must listen and if the band continue to build on this mini album they are sure to go onto good things."
- Rockandmetaldomain.co.uk - September 16th, 2007.

"This is an amazing debut demo and really a band to keep in mind!"
- Digital-Steel.com - September 1st, 2007.

"Daarom geef ik Alerion ook een mooie score van 9/10 en we verwachten binnenkort zekerenvast een full album!!"
