Progressive Doom Opera.

"[Oryad] appears to have found its niche in mysterious, symphonic metal with operatesque, bur- lesque and jazzy touches...what a debut!"
-Aardschok

Metal, classical, doom, and jazz meet. All with a gothic outlook steeped in ancient ritual. Shredding riffs, hypnotic drums, and soaring vocals. Oryad comes from the Temple of Diana, deep in the woods, with music both heavy and expansive. Join us.
