Ages before the era of the Seventh War, there was a time when the Dragonswords still lay buried, lost and forgotten…

This was the Age of the Two Moons, when Eneir ruled the obsidian temples, commanding the armies of Eseth across the land of Iriath.

This was the age of the ARYSITHIAN BLADE.

Formed by Chris Papadakis (AFTERIMAGE, OMINOUS SKY) on vocals and Giannis Aktypis (PROTEAN SHIELD) on guitars & programming, and soon joined by Petros Vasiliadis (PROTEAN SHIELD) on bass, ARYSITHIAN BLADE delivers a unique kind of Arcane Epic Metal.
Developed under the faithful inspiration of WARLORD / LORDIAN GUARD, and guided by the spirit of US Metal, their sound is filtered through an open prism that captures the overall aura of the ’60s and ’70s “new wave” of Hellenic music.
Explore with them forgotten myths of worlds and wars lost within the veiled mists of obscurity.

For fans of WARLORD, LORDIAN GUARD, ADRAMELCH & LONGING’S PAST!
