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.
