BETRAY-ED is a french one-man band existing since 2003.

The music is a mix between different styles, but we can describe it as Atmospheric Metal with an ambient/folk touch.

François, the mind beside the music, sings and play keyboards, as well as some traditional instruments (jew harp, edyphone, percussions, psalterion..). A few friends are helping him to play acoustic and electric guitars, cithare, viola and flute.

BETRAY-ED is a return to a path of innocence.

The band want the listeners to dream, explore some dark forest by dusk, or just drop a tear on the forever-gone memories of their past.

Thanks for have reading, hope you will enjoy the band. It is self produced, so, as a friend told me... it isn't a matter of perfect sound, but of emotions that get portrayed....
