Lethian Dreams is a French ethereal dark doom band known for their atmospheric blend of melancholic and dreamlike music. Founded in 2002 by Carline Van Roos and Matthieu Sachs, the band initially began as a duo, with Van Roos handling vocals, guitars, and keyboards, and Sachs on guitars. They quickly established a signature sound marked by haunting melodies, profound lyrics, and a seamless fusion of doom metal with ethereal and shoegaze influences.

Over the years, Lethian Dreams has evolved and enriched their sound, while remaining true to their dark and poetic roots. Their discography, marked by the albums "Bleak Silver Streams" (2009) and "Season of Raven Words" (2012), showcases a meticulous craft of songwriting that creates lush, emotive soundscapes. The 2020 album "A Shadow of Memories" — accompanied by an instrumental version — presents the band's continuous growth and is a testimony to their ability to convey deep emotions through layered guitar work, evocative vocals, and the subtle use of synths. The releases "Just Passing By & Unreleased Requiems" and "Red Silence Lodge" further cement Lethian Dreams' status as a notable entity in the fusion of doom metal with softer, more reflective elements, catering to a dedicated fan base and connoisseurs of the genre's more contemplative side.
