Lloth

Lloth is a band with roots in the Greek black metal scene. Originally formed in 1995 under this name, the band consisted of Maria "Tristessa" Kolokouri, Nemesis, and Kinthia. They released a demo titled *Dancing in the Dark Lakes of Evil* in 1997. Soon after, the band changed its name to Astarte, a well-known Greek black metal group. However, in 2003, Lloth reunited with new members and performed live for a brief period before pausing again. The project was revived in 2013, aiming to release new material in a melodic death/black metal style, but was put on hold due to Tristessa's health issues. As of recent developments, there are releases associated with the name Lloth, including *Helvegen* and *Athanati*, but the connection between these releases and the band's earlier history is not explicitly documented in available sources.

Lloth's recent activities seem to reflect a continuation of their original black metal roots with a blend of other metal genres, such as melodic death metal. Despite their early transformation into Astarte, the band's legacy under the name Lloth continues to evolve, with themes and influences that reflect a rich musical heritage.
