Dangerous subject sighting?

Dangerous subject sighting?
Recently the giant pictured above has regularly been sighted at Sephyros concerts and at Sephyros related dwellings.
He is in fact one of the Sephyros crew members and on more than one occasion the entire crew itself. Properly addressed with his name or title, "Tjeerd" or "Heit" respectively, a response is to be expected that can be described none other than genial.
It is to be made clear that this man causes no danger at all if he is treated with love and care.
Feel free to pay him a visit at his

A parting, roadsigns

A parting
Most beloved guests: Urged by necessity, Sephyros, needs to inform you that our bass player, Gerard van Seventer, decided to stop his activities involving Sephyros. Gerard wants to concentrate more on his private life and this was not possible to harmonize with the future engagements of the band. Though we very much regret his decision we would like to thank him for the great times we were allowed to share and wish him all the best and a lot of fulfillment with his new challenges.
Roadsigns
On a lighter note, we are in the process of placing roadsigns on our links page.
If one or two paths are obscured because of the lack of signing, please ask a resident.

I see her waiting at our shows
2006-10-07
Oh golly miss Hollie

First new show at the Ponderosa, Dokkum with Prey, Illuminati and Recuses.
Next is a new show at Popcentrale in Dordrecht, with the bands A New Dawn and After The Silence.
Due to some unforseen circumstances the show we were going to do on the 2nd of december has been rescheduled to 't Haske in Joure (nl) but the date still stands. We are happy to announce that Prey has been confirmed first as one of the bands that will be performing there.

Farther than expected, the music of Sephyros has been traveling the winds and made a small stop in Mexico.
Chimera Music, a portal for gothic and alternative music has made Sephyros one of their featured artists of the week.
"Como comentario personal les cuento que Menno Terpstra era tecladista en Autumn y Jeroen Bakker guitarrista, también en Autumn. Menno de hecho escribió una de las mejores letras de todo el Summer’s End de Autumn (Vision Red), por lo que teniendo eso como principal referencia les puedo decir que esta banda promete dar muchÃsimo de que hablar."

Spreading our wings and a Circledance

Spreading our wings
Technology races onward and we have stowed away on its wagon, this time it brought us contact with the world beyond what we thought of as our boundaries. During his travels in the realm of virtual our Overseer has had some intensive conversations with the illustrious party Seventh Sin. The result being that Sephyros will be performing with them in Plato, Helmond on the fourth of November.
Circledance
As the lyrics undoubtedly tell the story of a trap set by elves, you will have to wait until our next show to hear the music they played. In our dreams and nightmares we saw this Circledance transform into a circlepit; let this be a forewarning.

In the ages of illumination the word was spread that there had been found a new way of communication. We long have tried to discover the truth behind this rumour, an even though we at first thought it nothing but a rumour, we finally have the means to reveal it to the public. Although it might be a common way to the ones who recognise the apophthegms IRC, mIrc, Miranda and maybe even others, but by the illustrious way of webchat made possible by CGI:IRC we want to give you the opportunity to contact us this new way: look for the chat at the interact menu.
Our Chronicler has recovered an ancient language and has been busy preparing a translation for our guestbook, we are proud to announce that now our guestbook is also viewable in Frisian.

A parting, visual splendour, and a small sidestep
2006-04-22
A parting
Most beloved guests: Urged by necessity, Sephyros, with the most regrets, has to inform you that after several years of Sephyros guitar player, with love, mutual respect, and understanding of each other, Sander Stegeman, has decided to part ways with Sephyros.
We look forward to embracing the next chapter of Sephyros with both a huge amount of appreciation for the last years with Sander and the excitement of rising to the challenges that lay ahead to make Sephyros shine brighter than ever.
Visual splendour
As known by archived texts, we have done a live performance in De Ponderosa in Dokkum and we have been able to acquire a few photographs taken there.
They can be found under the menu Visual at submenu live.
And again a lyric has been added to the music section, this time being Quiet And Cold.
A small sidestep
At the seventeenth of April anno 2006, our keyboardplayer Menno made a small guest appearance with the band Cormick at he Aaipop festival. The songs he played with them were "Without Temptation" and "Yn ’e sleat". Two other guests also appeared, being: Tiede Lanting of the band Swee, who performed "It famke" with them, and the Frisian "Paul De Leeuw" imitator Jan de Haan during the "Spam Song" as Annie de Rooy. Menno likes to thank all people present including his fellow musicians for all the fun and he hopes to see them soon.

First lyrics online

For some people this is obsolete information, but Sephyros is playing at the Ponderosa in Dokkum on Friday, March 31st.
We realise it is on short notice, but we have made available some of our lyrics so whoever interested might be able to know what our songs are about, and maybe even do some sing-a-long. The ones that decide to do so, know that we will not hold it against you if it might sound a bit off-track, or if some words are missing. We repeat, we know it is on short notice and will not hold any mistakes against you.
At the moment, the lyrics "Asphodel Fields", "Raven's Chant" and "Winter Wisp" can be found on the obvious locations through the lyrics page under the menu music.
