Viathyn is a Canadian progressive/power metal band from Calgary, Alberta. Their music features a folkish 'natural' feel and themes such as the beauty of the natural world, existentialism, and storytelling.[1] The vocals within Viathyn's music are also more subdued than typical power metal vocal heights, which lends to the natural and existential themes of their albums.[2] The band's name is a play on the word 'leviathan', and has no true definition, but when describing the band can be defined as 'progressive, melodic, grandiose, innovative and emotional'.[3]
In October 2014 they released their second full-length album, Cynosure[1] with a streaming track Ageless Stranger.[4]
