Pythia is a British symphonic metal band founded in London by Mediæval Bæbes member Emily Ovenden. The band formed in 2007 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=metalhammer.it » Gruppi » Pythia )〕 and released their first album, ''Beneath the Veiled Embrace'', in 2009 along with the single "Sarah (Bury Her)" from that album. In 2010 Pythia released a second single from the album, "Army Of The Damned". In 2011, Pythia announced their second album called ''The Serpent's Curse'' and released the single "Betray My Heart". During October 2014, Pythia announced their third album would be released on 8 December 2014 and released one of the songs as a teaser for the new album. In 2013, guitarist Tim Neale and keyboardist Richard Holland left the band to focus on their own projects.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=UK’s PYTHIA line up changes and album update - :: Metal Divas :: )〕 They were replaced by Oz Wright (from Motherload, ex-Headon) and Marcus Matusiak respectively. In 2015, it was announced via the group's official Facebook page that Emily Alice Ovenden had left the band to focus on her new group Khronicles, and the band would continue with a new lead singer.〔https://www.facebook.com/PythiaBand/posts/10153299910391335〕 Her replacement was named on the 6 October 2015 as Sophie Dorman. ==Musical style== Pythia are known for incorporating various gothic elements into their lyrics such as passion, the supernatural, and life. Marc Dyos said in an interview that they're unrestricted in lyrical themes, however they won't sing about modern-day politics. In the first three albums, Emily was the band's lyricist until she left the band in June 2015. Pythia however have denounced the use of the word "gothic" to describe their music.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Metal Discovery: Interview with Tim Neale (Pythia) - 3rd November 2009 )〕 The music style of Pythia has varied throughout their albums. Their debut album, ''Beneath the Veiled Embrace'', went for a symphonic approach with neo-classical elements with a few faster songs such as ''Sarah (Bury Her)''. Their 2012 album, ''The Serpent's Curse'', also followed a similar style - heavy symphonic elements with a few fast-paced songs. Pythia changed their approach however to a much heavier, more progressive style of play with their latest album, ''Shadows of a Broken Past''. The lyrical theme of this album is also somewhat different from the previous two, focusing on battles and war rather than the more gothic elements they had previously incorporated into their music in their two preceding albums. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pythia (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
