Griefshire is the third album by the gothic metal band Elis.
It's their first concept album, and the last before Sabine Dünser's death.
Because Sabine Dünser was the creator of the concept of Griefshire and the main songwriter of the songs on it, the other members decided, after her death, to release Griefshire in her memory.

The Narrator's Daughter (a young girl that inherited the wisdom and skills from her grandmother and was raised by her father to use her powers for good), The Brother's Wife (the wife of the older brother and the secret love
for the younger, she discovers the truth about her husband but refuses to leave his side) and The Sect (the villagers, corrupted by the older brother who wanted to lead them to redemption although he could not do that).
The first track of the album, "Tales from Heaven or Hell", talks about the narrator's daughter, who, after her father's death, decides to fulfill his last will: to read his secret diary to "discover the truth about her origin",

The second track, "Die Stadt", describes the town as it looks like now, and then it starts talking a little about how the town used to be according to the narrator's memories.
