2008 ADYTA was founded on a cold winter day by guitarist Joakim Severinsen. This year Joakim left his former band Mortiferia to pursue his own goals as he felt he could not get satisfied in the band. He then founded ADYTA which became his main endeavour and project. Songs were written and started coming to life and ADYTA became a blend of symphonic folk metal and more extreme metal. Joakim contacted Melissa Ferlaak, a former Visions Of Atlantis singer and frontwoman (currently in Echoterra), asking if she'd like to sing on his new songs. To his surprise she agreed and Rose Of Melancholy was recorded and scheduled to be released the following year.

2009 - 2010 Rose of Melancholy was released in May and was followed up by a range of positive reviews. Although being a home recording it was given good critics and a relatively high rating. Later this year Joakim's old friend from whom he played with in Sectum (black folk metal), Martin Aasen, joined on bass. New songs were once again written and scheduled for recording. The band held a few local concerts this year. In May 2010 ADYTA attended K1 studio in Larvik, Norway to record drums for their second EP, Katarsis. The drums were tightly beaten down by Joachim Strøm Ekelund of the melodic prog metal band Above Symmetry. Severinsen also asked some of his favorite musicians to record guest clips for his new songs. Musicians such as Mark Jansen, Oliver Palotai and Allen B. Konstanz was kind enough to participate on ADYTA's profound new sound.

2011 - 2012 The band went into a silent period due to work and studies, but started looking for members to complete the line-up as well. Katarsis had been put on hold due to the lack of a singer, and it had therefore to be scheduled for release in 2012. This year the band succeeded in completing the line-up by adding Øystein Sollesnes, Elizaveta Agrafenina, Åsgeir Førsund and Theo Saenger to the band. ADYTA is currently rehearsing the entire repertoire and preparing to play some shows, as well as record the last pieces remaining for Katarsis.
