"That´s Lilith.
Adam’s wife, his first. Beware of her.
Her beauty’s one boast is her dangerous hair.
When Lilith winds it tight around young men
She doesn’t soon let go of them again."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust
Lilith (Hebrew: night hag)
The origin of Lilith lies in Babylonian mythology (Lilitu: wind
spirit)
According to an old hebrew version of the genesis, Lilith was created as
Adam´s first wife before Eve. Alike Adam, she was made of the dust
of the earth, she was as big as he was, and was on a par with him on anything
else. Adam was displeased with this equality
for he understood himself as the image of God and demanded Lilith to be
subservient to him and to lie beneath him during sexual
intercourse for he wanted to be the giving sky and she should be the receiving
earth. But Lilith refused to subserve. As Adam tried compel her
obedience by force, Lilith shouted out the unpronounceable name of God,
rose in the air and flew away. She settled down by the Red Sea
where she coupled with the demon Djinn and gave birth to hundreds of demon
children daily. God sent three of his angels who menaced Lilith to 100 of
her children would die daily if she didn´t return to paradise. But
Lilith wanted to keep her liberty and self-determination and did not come
back.
So God dismissed the original creation concept. He gave a more amenable
woman to Adam: Eve, who was "made" "as an assistance to him",
unlike Lilith, who was "created". Lilith whereas dealt with studying
the Ur-Tora, the Holy Scripture, to gain more knowledge. Lilith is also
said to having been the serpent who seduced Eve to eat the forbidden fruit
of the Tree of Knowledge.
In later myths, Lilith becomes an evil night demon who pursues young men,
kills children and mates with Samael, the Ruler of the Underworld. In the
bible genesis, Lilith does not get mention, it must be because due to her
beeing a too free spirit and due to God´s infallibility, this affair
does not fit in with the concept of the christian religion. Her name was
found in some passages of the Jerusalem bible, but it likewise disappeared
from there after the Refomation. Thereby she became a symbol of woman´s
strength and femininity.
The fact, that Lilith was the first human being who
revolted against God and deliberate made up her mind to live without him,
was for us the reason to name after her.
Band history:
Might of Lilith was formed in March
2003 by Eugen Leis with the intention to create dark atmospheric music which
is heavy and melodic at the same time. Shortly after, the keyboarder Anna
Leis, who is now preparing for her piano studies, joined the band. Quickly,
the style of the music has been found and the first songs were written.
During the next year, the band endured
several member changes. The current line-up, consisting of the singer Claudio
Enzler (Sacrificium), the founding members Eugen and Anna Leis, the bass guitar
player Rudolf Streck and the drummer Mats Kurth (Coronatus) has been completed
in December 2004 when the guitarist Wolfgang Nillies,
a former student of Victor Smolski, shared in.
In summer 2005, the band entered Klangschmiede
Studio E to record a Maxi-CD in cooperation with Markus Stock and Tobias Schönemann
(The Vision Bleak, Empyrium). The result of their first recordings was very
satisfactory for both parties, the release is scheduled for 2006.
Might of Lilith were well received
by the public on gigs in the region of Stuttgart (among other with Skyforger
(LV) and Sear Bliss (HU)), as well as on Metal Battle 2005, the Wacken Open
Air Newcomer Contest in the Rockfabrik Ludwigsburg.
