Azylya is a melodic metal band from Belgium. AZYLYA was founded in 2009 and is based in the Belgian Capital of Brussels, playing a mix of melodic metal and a bit of thrash.
The sound of AZYLYA came to be by creating a harmony between the angelic voice of Songstress Jamie-Lee (ex Skeptical Minds & AEDDEN) and the thrash scores of Vlad, bringing the dark, painful and suffering in contrast with a sound of hope.
Tielman Susato (also Tylman) (c.1500 – c.1562) was a Renaissance Flemish composer, instrumentalist and publisher of music in Antwerp. While his place of birth is unknown, some scholars believe that because of his name—Susato meaning de Soest, of the town of Soest — he may be from the town of that name in Westphalia. Not much is known about his early life, but he begins appearing in various Antwerp archives of around 1530 working as a calligrapher as well as an instrumentalist: trumpet, flute and tenor pipe are listed as instruments that he owned.
