• Track Listing

Anthea are a melodic, symphonic metal band from Los Angeles, CA. In 2015, after spending much of his time writing new music, Diego Valadez (Cellador) met with drummer Peter Vasquez (Angel Sinestro). The two decided to form a band, giving an outlet to the material that was already in the works. They recorded their first demo under the band name 'Anthea.' This was accomplished with the help of some very talented studio musicians filling in for bass, guitar, screams, and additional vocals. While recording, Anthea had been simultaneously searching for permanent members and were soon joined by guitarists Juan Pina and Marcos Mejia, as well as bassist Eric Guerrero. The band aims to create coherent yet diverse cinematic, theatrical metal musiC with many influences from film scores and established metal acts. With a combination of clean operatic vocals and black metal like screams, Anthea's music can appeal to a wide variety of metal fans. Special guest on 'Moirai' is Chiara Tricarico (Sound Storm, Moonlight Haze, ex-Temperance), while Eric Meyers is featured in "The Light Divine" as lead guitarist.
