About Me

Blending aspects of hard rock and progressive music, Buffalo-based quintet Athera (A-thair-a) has a lot in common with the origin of its name. In the 15th century BC, the island of Thera was devastated by one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions in history. Although its massive destruction contributed to the end of the Minoan Civilization, its wake brought about the rise of the Mycenaean Civilization - one of the most celebrated periods in history.
Faced with the task of starting anew after the dissolutions of two separate musical projects, the five members of Athera came together for one simple objective: to spread their music to as many people as possible. The band is comprised of individuals who will stop at nothing to have their music heard, and it is only a matter of time when the music scene will feel the reverberations of this rising young act. With its exuberant live shows and energetic songs, the band has shown that it can persevere through anything in attaining its goal. In the ashes of destruction, Athera has proven that it can rise again and still have its presence felt in this ever-changing musical landscape.
Athera has shared the stage with several international touring acts including: Skindred, Trust Company, Life of Agony, The Burden Brothers (featuring Vaden Todd Lewis of the Toadies), Badfish, Project 86, Inhale Exhale, Chasing Victory, Sullivan, Horse the Band, Black Light Burns (featuring Wes Borland, former Limp Bizkit guitarist) and Julien-K (former members of Orgy).
