As Adyta is on the search for shows to play, we can be booked on adyta@adyta.no.

I'm glad to announce that Joachim Strøm Ekelund of Aspera will be doing the drum tracks for the new Adyta EP, Katarsis. Joachim supported Adyta once earlier and is a very reliable and skilled drummer. We look very much forward to start recording. We are also awaiting a hundred new copies of the Rose of Melancholy EP, so make your order now!

Adyta has applied for Rockekampen 2010, were we will need your votes to get in! Vote for us by sending a sms with the text "ROCK 1" to 2010 (+47 outside Norway). To view info and current voting statistics click here.

New live pictures has been added to the gallery.

I have decided to make Adyta available for the stage once again and some changes will be made vocalwise. We will support ourselves with the drums and orchestration as backingtracks. We are going to be on the lookout for more shows to play. Feel free to book us on adyta@adyta.no.

Adyta has been confirmed for the metal event at the venue Et ANNET Sted, in Skien March 27. The Rose of Melancholy songs is also now available digitally on CD baby.

The songwriting process has come closer to an end. The new songs will feature guest appearances from various musicians which I am really honored to be able to work with. More about this will follow.

As for the latest news, the coverart is scheduled for making by the talented Mattias Norèn of Progart Media. Even though there hasn't been a lot of updates lately there is much to be awaited. This cd can be expected to be available late next year, but there will of course be a sample available before the release.

Stay in touch!

Quite good reviews by Stormbringer (4.5/5), Heavy Metal (7/10) and Sonic Cathedral (9/10) has been added in the mediasection.

The Rose Of Melancholy EP can be ordered using paypal in the releases section.

All the songs from the EP has been uploaded on http://www.myspace.com/adyta, the new official myspace. Those of you who are waiting for it all to become available on CD will have to give it a bit more time. This is due to the trouble of financing the production, but it will be done very soon (200 copies to begin with). The international payment/ordering will be via paypal.

Here's a review by Femme Metal you can read while waiting ;)

Only mixing remains. All of Melissa's vocaltracks are finally done! A big thanks to her husband Wolfgang for helping out with this. If it wasn't for unexpected delays it would all be done by now.

I really hope the result will make it up for all the waiting. Being satisfied is important, and I'll make sure thats exactly what I'll be! The next post will be an announcement of when the EP is available.

I'm very glad that I'm able to announce some great news for the upcoming EP. To my surprise, Melissa Ferlaak former singer of Visions Of Atlantis and Aesma Daeva agreed to do the vocals as this EP's session vocalist. The drums and bass will probably also be done by session musicians as well, but until further notice I'm unable to announce by who.


The EP will probably be finished some day in March or April. The result is all that matters, so if more time is needed it might take longer. Stay updated, and in the meantime, Merry Xmas!

After a few suggestments from some willingly musicians, there will be held a concert with various session musicians. Myself, Joachim (Aspera), Rein (Aspera) and Alexander (ex - Aspera) will probably be the line-up for the Et ANNET Sted show. I'm looking very forward to this since I've had very few opportunities to perform this year. We will probably be the first band on stage, so be sure to be there quite a while before the show starts!
