British Folk rockers Serpentyne have released a lyric video for \u201cHelen Of Troy\u201d, their first of a series of videos from their upcoming album \u201cThe Serpent\u2019s Kiss\u201d. Vocalist Maggie-Beth Sands said this of the track: “This song is based on the Greek legend. Helen, daughter of Leda, Queen of the Spartans, was seduced and taken to the city of Troy by its Prince Paris. Menelaus, the Spartan King, took his fleet of a thousand ships to Troy to rescue her, and thus embarked on the Trojan War. He and his troops eventually entered the city hidden in the Trojan horse, rescued Helen and took her back to Sparta.”<\/p>\n

Serpentyne was formed in 2010 by Maggie-Beth Sands and Mark Powell. The band enjoyed success throughout the UK and mainland Europe, with its unique blend of what John Collinge, editor of the Progression magazine (USA) called \u201csymphonic folk-rock.\u201d The first album \u201cStella Splendens\u201d was released in 2011, followed by \u201cMyths and Muses\u201d in 2014.<\/p>\n

2015 saw a change of direction for the band, emphasising the symphonic rock quality of the music, whilst keeping a link with the World music arena. The result is a fresh new album, \u201cThe Serpent\u2019s Kiss,\u201d scheduled for release on September 27th 2016.<\/p>\n

Previous reviews of the bands included Prog Magazine, who called them \u201cTarja meets Solstice \u2026 a breath of fresh air.\u201d And R2 Magazine, who said \u201cThe outfit\u2019s second album delivers on the promise that\u2019s been bubbling away under the surface since way back.\u201d While Roots Caf\u00e9 said \u201cAn extremely special group, this ‘Serpentyne’. Beyond compare. I was transfixed… after listening to this CD. Very special!”<\/p>\n
