Corona Rising Corona Rising
Demo version of this track. Needs lead guitar to be added. Feel free to get in touch if you want to add the extra part/s.

Once and Future... Once and Future...
Latest mix of this track. Possibly best described as Melodic Metal, but could just as easily sit in a range of metal/hard rock genres . Theme is loss, missed opportunity, life passing by, and with a bit of a nod to the Arthurian legend in the title.

Dragging Me Down(Demo) Dragging Me Down(Demo)
Demo mix only. Still more work to be done on lyrics and drums, etc. Kind of has a double intro' before getting to the vocal parts. Sort of slow and heavy.

The Glass Jar (Rough Demo) The Glass Jar (Rough Demo)
This is a basic demo mix of a new track with just guitar, bass and vocals. Deliberately creepy, quirky theme to the lyrics, just for fun. Not quite sure where it fits in the Metal genre, but could imagine Alice Cooper on vocals for this one!
Abyhnho is a Metal/Hard Rock project created by Grant Smith, and currently based in Bendigo, Australia.
The aim is to produce modern melodic Metal/Hard Rock with a leaning towards the melodic and progressive side of Metal. Think along the lines of Tool meets QOTSA meets Soen. Not really tied to one particular genre by design, just wherever develops - but usually heavy.
Enjoy making music with a bit of light and shade, and with a hard edge to it.
More a collaborative music project than a touring band at the moment.
Formed partly out of the remnants of Melbourne (Aus) hard rock band Nightwatch from years ago.
