Pythia is a British symphonic metal band that has carved out a distinct place for itself in the realm of heavy music with a neoclassical twist. Named after the ancient Greek oracle of Delphi, Pythia delivers a powerful blend of thunderous drums, intricate guitar work, and soaring operatic vocals. Formed in 2007, the band is fronted by the enigmatic vocalist Emily Ovenden, who is backed by a talented ensemble of musicians including Ross White and Jamie Hunt on guitars, Mark Harrington on bass, and Marc Dyos on drums, with the band's lineup having evolved over the years.

Their discography is marked by a series of evocative and ambitious albums, with their debut "Beneath The Veiled Embrace" released in 2009, which immediately set them apart from their peers in terms of both musicality and thematic depth. They followed up with "The Serpent's Curse" in 2012 and "Shadows of a Broken Past" in 2014, both of which received critical acclaim for their blend of mythical storytelling and high-octane metal. Pythia continued to build their mythos with "The Solace of Ancient Earth" in 2019, where they offered listeners an even more refined and sweeping sonic landscape that truly cemented their reputation as titans of their genre. Notably, their songs "Sarah (Bury Her)" and "Army Of The Damned" are testaments to their ability to craft narratives that are both epic in scope and deeply personal, all within the framework of their signature melodic but crushing sound.
