Formed in 2007 by vocalist Emily Alice Ovenden and drummer Marc Dyos, Pythia began to forge a path through the masses of faceless bands that littered the music scene, united in their love of gothic and fantasy literature, the darker end of the classical spectrum and a burning desire to tell the world their tale through ear-splitting, gut-crunching heavy metal.

In October 2009 Pythia unleashed their debut album upon the world. "Beneath the Veiled Embrace" won acclaim from critics and fans alike and captured in recorded form the energy and intensity that had made the band so popular with all those who had witnessed them live.

As the band began work on their second album, it was announced that Andy Nixon-Corfield would be departing from the band and so the band forged ahead with writing and recording their second album, minus a bass player. Tim performed double-duty on the album, playing all bass parts on the album as well as his lead guitar work.To follow such a strong debut, the band clearly needed to raise the stakes in every area and their aspirations took form in the shape of the second chapter of their tale, "The Serpent’s Curse".Shortly before the album release was announced, Pythia welcomed Mark Harringtoninto the fold as their new bass player.

Pythia’s 3rd album entitled "Shadows Of A Broken Past" will be released later in 2014. The band chose once again to have Jacob Hansen mix and master the album, Scott Chalmers once again provides wonderful photography and this time the band worked with South American artist Claudio Bergamin to create the album artwork. With fresh input, ideas and sounds courtesy of Mark, Oz and Marcus enjoying their first album as part of Pythia, Shadows Of A Broken Past is the sound of Pythia spreading their wings like never before and in doing so creating perhaps their finest album yet.
