Sword Chant

LOCATION :  Melbourne, Australia Status :  Active Music :  Progressive Metal MEMBERS : Dodds : guitar, vocals Pete : guitar, vocals Junty : drums Shane Smith : bass Past members : Tina : bass, vocals HISTORY : Arbrynth were formed in 2006 in Melbourne, Australia. They refer to their music as "Australian Forest Metal", which is quite true since their music as nothing to do with happy drinking Folk Metal. It's basically a darker and quite progressive type of Melodic Death/Folk and despite the fact that the Folk elements are not always directly present, their music keeps a constant feeling of wilderness and nature. January 2015, Tina leaves the band. The band seems to have changed pathway since their second album.
