ALEV is translated as "flame" in the Turkish language- and accordingly so, as the band's live show and studio recordings are quite literally, "on fire" with music that turns the common conventional styles of other bands, into nothing more than smoke...
ALEV's music ranges from Modern Rock, to Alternative Metal while the band's sound is best described as a musical cross between Evanescence and Lacuna Coil. Strong female-fronted rock/metal with emotionally intelligent music and hooks capture the listener's attention and easily keep the songs repeating in their head ...

Munich's rockband Alev achieved much on their own with their demo-cds "Breakable" and "Broken", before scoring a record deal with SAD Music GmbH in Germany. They rocked to the top of the German alternative charts without large ad campaigns, convincing their fans only with their powerful music and their numerous live gigs. Starting in small clubs and youth houses they eventually went on to play at large festivals, performing at 25 Open Air Festivals throughout Europe in 2004 alone.
For 2 years Alev perfectly convinced the audience that they were in fact "on fire" and now after signing on with Eclipse Records, the band's national debut entitled "We Live In Paradise" was released here in the 2006.
Alex, the lead singer, singing both powerful rock anthems as well as soft, ballad-like songs with her distinctive voice... a voice with an individual touch and an incredible emotional expressiveness that can also be found in the entire band. Alev's music is a tightrope walk, switching from raging, heavy guitar riffs to softer tones while lyrically aiming right for the heart. Combined with Alex's magical attraction, their diversified and emotional live show makes for a truly unique mixture.
Catchy refrains, powerful guitar riffs, diversified harmonies, and arrangements beyond conventional cliches... a wild, youthful, and refreshing malange full of energy and persuasivenes... This is the sound of Alev.
