Bio
Emrei's (ex Wishmasters) have been one of the most well-known bands on the Czech symphonic metal scene for several years. They are known for their intricate orchestral arrangements combined with elements of modern electronic music, underlined by electric guitar, all dominated by the coloratura soprano of Czech-Italian singer Shirley Tracanna. For more than ten years, they have been exclusively focused on their own music and during that time, they have visited various domestic and foreign festivals such as Masters of Rock or Rock pod Kameňom. Emrei's have released two albums and one extended single during their career. It is typical for each album to have a storyline running throughout.

After a decade of captivating audiences under the name Wishmasters, the symphonic metal band Emrei's is ready to embark on a new journey while honoring their roots. With a fresh name but the same passion, Emrei's is excited to announce the release of their album “Beatrice Reborn”, a complete reimagining of their debut album Beatrice, which originally launched in 2014.
The band announced work on their third studio album with the release of their extended single, Wasteland (2021), which in addition to the titular song, also included acoustic and live versions of songs from the Beatrice album.
Their second album, Afterworld (2018), focuses on a post-apocalyptic world. The world we know no longer exists. War and magic have destroyed almost all life. However, hope still remains. Throughout the album, the listener embarks on an epic fantasy journey, where the main heroine, Shi, tries to save the world.
The story of their first album, Beatrice (2014), is set in 19th-century London. It tells the story of a young opera singer named Beatrice who experiences a terrible life event, which ultimately culminates in her committing murder. Can she escape before it's too late? Can she start a new life? And most importantly – can she forgive herself, or is her conscience and subconscious stronger than her will? The album tells all.
