Metal remixes album - Win an autographed CD.
05/09/2011
Hey, there will soon be a new album with METAL versions of Aythis songs.
The mastermind behind the project, Eddie Risdal, and myself would like to put you in contribution in finding a NAME FOR THE PROJECT.
The remixes include these songs : Autan Noir (Glacia) , Silvery Night (The New Earth), Glacia (Glacia), Burial Mound (Doppelgänger), Silver Rope (Doppelgänger), Shallow Blackout (Doppelgänger), Wounded Asylum (The New Earth), Le temps d'un Voyage (Glacia)
The WINNER will receive a free signed copy of the release and will be mentionned in the credits.
We already have an idea in mind for it, but let's see if you find a better one. If you think you might have just the right name, then head over to the Aythis Facebook page (click on the "like" of the band down left) and post your suggestion. The deadline for the participation is Sunday 11th, midnight.
The song is the "2011" version of Ethereal Fire. I re-recorded, remixed and remastered it for the Kalpamantra compilation "Chenrezig".
The original version appears on the first album Doppelgänger.

The New Earth mp3's and videos
29/03/2011
You'll find detailed information about the new album in the discography section. (Track titles and 2 MP3's available for download)
You'll also find two videos for the songs Silvery Night and Wounded Asylum.
The New Earth is the third album from AYTHIS, following up for GLACIA released in 2009.
Without losing the wintery atmospheres, THE NEW EARTH melt many influences and results in a blend of ethereal, neoclassical, neofolk rythmed by bombastic drums.
Glimpses to bleak landscapes swirl in this journey through a labyrinth of emotions where acoustic guitars meet depressive keyboards and paint the last days of a collapsing world.

Doppelgänger is out now
12/11/2007
Good news!
The Aythis album "Doppelgänger" is out now!
Melancholic, neo-classical romanticism, dark ambient funeral harmonies and ethereal female voice. An alchemy of baroque soundscapes and haunting melodies played to themes of isolation, solitude and death. An enchanting work from Carline Van Roos of Lethian Dreams and Remembrance. Highly recommended for appreciators of Dead Can Dance, Elend, Arcana and the like. Presented as a limited edition of 750 copies only, in beautiful colour card wallet and hand stamped Paradigms packaging.
