Xanthe (PL)
From the beginning Xanthe is interested in dark and mystic atmosphere which is still most important in it's compositions. It is hard to classify band's music it's generally metal with some influences of doom (especially in lyrics) or even death / black metal. Nowadays we use also accoustic guitars and electronic samples.
