Biography
Ophelia's Eye offers a mix of Gothenburg melo-death and metalcore from the 2000s.
The name is based on Olimpia’s Eyes from the novel “The Sandman” by E.T.A. Hofmann.
Olimpia for us is a characterization for the goal we want to achieve with our music:
In the course of the book, Nathaniel’s perception of Olimpia changes as he observes her through a pocket lens in her room: “But
as he looked sharper and sharper through the glass, it was as if moist moonbeams were rising in Olimpia’s eyes. It seemed as if
only now the sight was ignited; more and more vividly and vividly the glances flamed.”
And toward the end of the story, Nathanel is enchanted by Olimpia. He calls her “heavenly-beautiful,” admires her every day, and
is desperate and driven by longing.
We, too, want to “enflame” the audience, bring them to life and cast a spell over them. Through our songs the listeners should
also lose the connection to reality - at least for a while.
