Sothis (10/27/12)



Sothis is a symphonic black metal band from Los Angeles/Hollywood, CA. The group incorporates the feel and sound of Norwegian cold and bleak black metal and the haunting melodies of classical. Vocalist Drogoth, guitarists Scathe and Nylock, bassist Keres, keyboardist Asperia and drummer Dross make up the band. The six piece formed in 1999 but finally hit the studio in 2005 to record their self titled demo.

It was not until 2007 that Sothis got signed with Candlelight Records to record De Oppresso Liber and in 2008 they released it. The record did quite well and received rave reviews on many online publications. The group is still active but no word of them recording or anything at the moment.

A very mysterious band for those who have been looking up on them. Not much is to be found but their full length and a music video for the track De Oppresso Liber, Of Night and Silence and Sinister Nation. Hope to see more from this band soon.
