LYCANTHIA An Introduction

metal evilution · April 11th, 2007, 06:30 AM

For those people out there who have surfed past and are not too familiar with Australian Metal act LYCANTHIA here is a little bit about them and links to their sites if you want to check out some music samples, pics and other bits.
Strongly recommended for fans of MY DYING BRIDE , KATATONIA , OPETH , ANATHEMA etc.
Would also love to hear your feedback too.

Formed in 1996, Lycanthia is a 6 piece Metal band based in Sydney, Australia.

Lycanthia play dark aggressive and emotional Metal in a style that would be best described as a fusion of Doom, Classical, Gothic and Rock.

The popularity of their live shows along with their self titled demo established the band in the Australian Doom Metal underground. Lycanthia's first full length CD 'Myriad' saw them develop their musical style with greater maturity, creativity and originality.

Working closely and without the confines of a restrictive genre, Lycanthia have sculpted their reactions to existence and the world into a musical expression of harsh and bleak reality.

November 2006 marks the release of Lycanthia’s latest CD ‘Within the Walls’ which sees the replacement of cello and flute with violin, streamlining their sound whilst creating greater strength and complexity.

The success of Lycanthia has continued and grown with regular radio airplay and numerous live performances around Australia alongside local and international acts at Metal venues and festivals.

Walk into just about any CD store and ask at the counter, they can order it through Green distribution.

I just had a thought, I could also buy it online at PMR.

But thanks anyway.

and its cheaper than all the methods described in the "How to buy" thread!
Lycanthia - Within The Walls $14.95 including shipping!!

Would have been nice to include PMR in all the threads SLR has created on how to get the album, but I guess Waterfront Records is a big supporter of local metal

Here's to hoping the DISMEMBER tour introduces LYCANTHIA to even more of you out there!

metal evilution · December 8th, 2009, 08:17 PM

And here's to also hoping that more fans are likely to be introduced to LYCANTHIA in 2010 and dare i say some old ones re-introduced.

I'm sure that there's going to be a lot of people digging the new stuff at Paradise Lost. I can't get it out of my head as it is! Expect awesomeness!
