Lyrically inspired by dreams, isolation and death, Aythis aims to be timeless and isolated from human nature.
Aythis' harmonies are created by the alchemy of depressive keyboard atmospheres, haunting and hypnotic melodies, ethereal voice and dark orchestral drums.
In July 2007, Aythis catches the interest of the english label Paradigms Recordings that releases Aythis' debut album Doppelgänger in November 2007.
After the success of DOPPELGÄNGER, Aythis gets in contact with the well-known french label Prikosnovénie that releases the second album Glacia in March 2009, a work that turns out to be more orchestral. GLACIA paints a picture of wintry, icy and desolated landscapes and receives very positive feedbacks from the press and the listeners.
One year later, the composition of the third album begins. Aythis signs with Twilight Records to release the follow-up for GLACIA, called The New Earth. This third album melt many influences and results in an unique blend of ethereal, neoclassical, neofolk rythmed by bombastic drums. THE NEW EARTH is was released in June 2011.
In 2016 fourth album " The Illusion And The Twin" was released by Carline's Label: Orcynia Music Productions .
AYTHIS is back in 2021 with a new album SECRETS FROM BELOW, taking the listener to hidden places, underneath the surface of the earth and into desolated forest, the above, the below. Sonically, the guitars are more present, giving at time a shoegaze/post-rock feeling and a melancholy that would appeal to any fan of dark ethereal music.
The immersive keyboards and dreamy piano melodies are not left out, adding to the overall atmosphere, and to the neo-classical/ambient touch that has always been part of AYTHIS' sound.
Also two videoclips are made, (Ashes and Secrets) both available on Aythis Instagram and Youtube profiles.

Aythis: Ether
This song is by Aythis and appears on the album The New Earth (2011).
I grasp the fear in my sleep
I grasp the dream
I touch the most ancient hope
My illusion becomes real.
I felt the essence, I chased incandescent hope
Ethereal world, take my soul!
I covered all the distance, took all directions
Between two rivers, I′ve seen the land of cold
With both hands I grasped the frost and vanished in the ocean
In this labyrinth, I felt whole
Within the hissing roars
Ethereal world, take my soul
The promise has been broken in two
The rules enforced, unspoken and banished
Remains Immensity...
The promise has been broken in two
The rules enforced, unspoken and banished
The lyrics of Aythis's song "Ether" convey a sense of longing and exploration. The singer describes their experience of fear and dreams while sleeping, capturing the essence of ancient hope. The illusion they carry becomes tangible and real, as they delve into the ethereal world.
The song explores the idea of chasing a transcendent hope, reaching for something beyond the tangible. The singer feels the essence of this hope and embarks on a journey, covering all directions and distances. They mention the land of cold, hinting at a desolate or unfamiliar place they have encountered.
In this mysterious labyrinth, they find a sense of wholeness within the hissing roars. The ethereal world beckons them to surrender their soul, perhaps representing a desire to be part of something greater than themselves.
However, the promise of this transcendent hope is revealed to be broken, as the rules that govern it are unspoken and banished. The singer is left with a sense of immensity and the remnants of an unfulfilled promise.
Overall, "Ether" delves into themes of longing, exploration, and the pursuit of something beyond the mundane. It portrays the tension between the dream-like illusion and the harsh reality of broken promises and unspoken rules.

I grasp the fear in my sleep
I understand and confront my deepest fears while I am asleep
I grasp the dream
I hold onto my dreams tightly, refusing to let them go
I touch the most ancient hope
I connect with the oldest and most profound hope within me
My illusion becomes real
The imaginary world I create in my mind becomes a reality for me
I felt the essence, I chased incandescent hope
I experienced the core essence of existence and pursued a burning hope
Ethereal world, take my soul!
I offer my soul to the ethereal world, longing for transcendence
I covered all the distance, took all directions
I traveled far and wide, exploring every possible path
Between two rivers, I've seen the land of cold
In the barren space between two opposing forces, I came across a desolate and icy land
With both hands I grasped the frost and vanished in the ocean
I embraced the freezing cold with determination and disappeared into the vastness of the ocean
In this labyrinth, I felt whole
Amidst the complexity and confusion, I experienced a sense of completeness
Within the hissing roars
Amidst the loud and chaotic noises
The promise has been broken in two
A vow or commitment has been shattered into separate pieces
The rules enforced, unspoken and banished
The imposed regulations were silently forced and then eliminated
Remains Immensity...
Only vastness and boundlessness remain
The promise has been broken in two
A vow or commitment has been shattered into separate pieces
The rules enforced, unspoken and banished
The imposed regulations were silently forced and then eliminated
