Prophetic Metal

About Me


Syb´yl`line
Adj. 1. sybylline - resembling or characteristic of a prophet or prophecy;
2. sybylline - having a secret or hidden meaning;
3. sybylline - Coming from, characteristic of, or relating to a sibyll,
&nbsp the prophetic pagan priestesses in the Etruscan
and early Roman Era as far back as the 6th Century B.C.E..
Sybylline is a new off-shoot project for Luna Jade of Vatican of Sorrows and Toxic Minds , with initial contribution from Alex Zandretta.
"The focus, the inspiration for VoS has been the human condition from a personal point of view - the pain, alienation, and despair experienced from the individual perspective." says Luna.
SyBylline is about the 'global condition'...what we are experiencing, where we are going as a people; our collective destiny and how our actions are affecting it."
Alex envisioned Sybylline's sound to be crafted as a new genre of metal -Prophetic Metal. "Become One", the first song written for Sybylline, is moody, haunting...an experiment with tribal rhythms, heavy guitar, and symphonics." Alex goes on to describe its vibe as Tribal Metal.
[A current rough studio mix is posted above.]
Lyrically, Sybylline is music with a message. "The prophecies foretold of the apocalypse to come", says Luna. "We see in our lifetime the warning signs of this destiny and yet we still continue down the path of our fractured existence. We have it within our power to face the future as one."
As for where they are going with this new project: As Luna says, "time will tell...the sound and the message are evolving as we write."
Although Sybylline's sonic destiny may be unclear, the path is worthy of the journey.
