Athenic are a 5 piece Progressive, Technical, Experimental Death Metal Conceptual Band based in Christchurch New Zealand. Formed in February 2005 Athenic has been progressing at an exponential rate, with a dramatic change in musical style, technicality and intensity of shows. ATHENIC ARE DIFFERENT, if you're into experiencing a show check this band out.
Athenic holds a sound and performance unlike any other, incorporating ancient guitar tones and eastern music influences in to a form of metal most unique. Twisted ambient visuals, lighting, theming and theatrical performances are a sight not to be missed at their headline gigs, pushing the boundary of modern metal.
Athenic offer not just a gig but and entire audio visual performance. This past 12 months we have had many successful gigs, playing with some of New Zealand’s nation wide top local acts, magazine and newspaper interviews and articles (the press, star times, groove guide, C.A.N.T.A mag) radio airplay on The Rock (The Axe Attack) and Christchurch's Cacophony, and our debut video Sirius air's frequently on C4's The Steel Mill.We have previously released a 6track EP. The EP contains :
.Unstable Skies..Delirious.
.In Your Defence.
.Medusa.
.Caution Curiosity - live at Christchurch town hall.
.Sirius - live at Christchurch town hall.
The last remaining copies are available through Real Groovy.
Athenic are proud supporters of the INKMILL CLothing Syndicate!
