About Me

Copy and Paste Banner Code to put on your MySpace Page!Lets get one thing straight, we are a Epic Folk Metal band. In our music we try give the listeners a sense of mystical pressence and old sacred traditions from legends, mythology, history,ect . Our music deals with the roots of all music, the most primative concepts all of which were destroyed by the coming of Christianity. The past must be held sacred as for it is the key to unlocking the future. And the music from early, more 'primative' cultures must be preserved. These are our roots. Lemuria is symbolic of from where everything began.
Ghosts of Lemuria first came together on November 15,2003 in San Jose, CA. After struggles within the band, a new revival of the band came to take place on June 16th of 2004.
Behind the name-Lemuria was an ancient civilization and continent which was destroyed by a great disaster. They were rumored to posses great abilities beyond that of man. Along with Atlantis their exsistance is yet to be acknowledged. Some Lemurians fled before the continent sank to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, they fled to the most east of the continent which is known as the California of today. The Lemurians found sanctum in the highest point- Mount Shasta. There are many legends, discoveries, and scientific studies done regarding the lost people of Lemuria. To this day the scientific community is in heated debate to find a conclusion.
