Artist BiographyAvailable in:
Pythia are an English symphonic metal band founded in London by drummer Marc Dyos, vocalist Emily Ovenden, and guitarist Ross White. Emily was also a member of Mediæval Bæbes whilst Marc and Ross had been in death/thrash metal band Descent.
The band formed in early 2007 and released their first album, Beneath the Veiled Embrace, in 2009.
In February 2012, Pythia released their second album entitled The Serpent's Curse followed by their third album "Shadows of a Broken Past" in December 2014.
In October 2015 it was announced via Facebook that Emily Alice Ovenden had left the band to focus on her new group Khronicles, and the band would continue with a new lead singer, Sophie Dorman.
Pythia are known for incorporating various gothic and fantasy elements into their lyrics. In the first three albums, Emily was the band's lyricist. The music style of Pythia has varied throughout their albums. Their debut album, Beneath the Veiled Embrace, went for a symphonic approach with neo-classical elements with a few faster songs such as Army of the Damned. Their 2012 album, The Serpent's Curse, also followed a similar style - heavy symphonic elements with a few fast-paced songs. Pythia changed their approach however to a much heavier, more progressive style of play with their album, Shadows of a Broken Past. The lyrical theme of this album is also somewhat different from the previous two, focusing on battles and war rather than the more gothic elements.
