Eyes of Athena is a Doom Metal band from Arizona. Our Music is depressed & hopeless; beautiful and complicated; dark and soul-crushingly heavy, while all the time managing to be insightful and unique.
It started out as just an idea in one guy's dark and twisted mind, and took 3 years to come to life as a real, functioning band with a solid (and full) line-up. When that happened, the song writing happened extremely fast and several songs were laid out, fine tuned and completed after only a few practice sessions. In true Doomed fashion the process became slowed down and eventually put on hold due to financial problems for all band members.
The only recordings available are a few different Guitar tracks done at home using a computer, Cubase recording software and a PreSonus Inspire interface. We are planning to do more recording when things return to relatively normal. Meanwhile, promotion of the band continues with merchandise to be made available in the near future.
We don't play live yet, but we are looking forward to doing so.
The closest we have come to playing live was after a practice session where we played 2 completed songs for 10 people who are friends/family of us.
Crushing, monolithic, desperate, depressed, depressing, epic, HEAVY fucking DOOM METAL!
We also listen to Black Metal, Death Metal, Thrash Metal and Hardcore, which is reflected in the sound of the Music.
Crate Amplification, Dunlop picks, GHS Boomer Strings, Schecter Guitars, Yamaha drums.
Effects vary, but mostly Boss, DigiTech, Line 6 and Rocktron products.
Listen to us and then Kill yourself.
