Alithia biography
Founded in Melbourne, Australia in 2004

ALITHIA see themselves at the forefront of a new movement in music known as 'Astral Space Core'. With their special mix of psychedelic and art rock ingredients they have evolved into ever expanding musical boundaries. Permanent core members are John Rousvanis (guitar, vocals), Danny Constantino (keys, vocals) and Mark Vella (drums). Though many other artists have come and gone - through these shared experiences, the group has gained strength and musical diversity.

ALITHIA's live shows are an undeniably atmospheric and hypnotic experience. The music flows openly and freely, taking the listener on a journey of shared self-expression. The band has recorded two EPs, the current one 'A Realm Of O'Null', released in 2010, shows them experienced while including four gripping songs, a bewitching sound and sonic vibration that echoes through time and space. Now since early 2013 they are working on a new full-fledged album. Similar bands in style: Facing New York, Every Other Fate, Heavy Water Experiments.

Review by LearsFool

A nice piece of neo-psych, if not much too write home about. Alithia's work here isn't special by any means, excepting perhaps the thirteen minute long opener "Thirteen Revelations". But I still find this a very enjoyable record, as it is done well enough and sounds very good. The vocals are the show stealers here, very operatic and the best done part. Everything else is cut and dry, and not so well done as to escape the term's negative connotations, even with the excellent vocals. Still lukewarmly recommended to modern psych fans, but this isn't so good, and your mileage will vary.

A Realm O'Null

Review by Rivertree

ALITHIA are claiming to stand for a new movement in music, which they name 'Astral Space Core'. This is a very ambitious attitude, right? Well, the psych/space character is definitely manifested here, that's what I can state beforehand. This Australian quartet has recorded two EP's so far - only, one or two may say - not much according to a relatively long band history which started in 2004. Anyway, when thinking in quality terms, there's such a great musicianship and compositional skills to state, I have to say.

At least considering this effort named 'A Realm O'Null' I can't believe that they are a nearly unknown band. Here we are faced with nearly 25 touching minutes, not any wasted moment to regret. An intensive affair where almost everything sounds rounded. Well, occasionally there's an alternative rock touch to smell - the songs are way too tricky though overall, far away from a common structure. While starting and hiding in the Shadows this is highly atmospheric, John Rousvanis' vocals are very expressive and his guitar presence is spacey all the way through.

If you oughta expect a bunch of synths additionally, Danny Constantino appears not that genre typical on the other hand with his art rock tinged piano style, but yet effective. And then WTFJ means a 'slippery' affair thematically, alongside with the title track this composition is bursting with strength, entertaining for every moment. ALITHIA are working on the debut album now and I'm waiting with curiosity - empathically hoping that they are able to reach for such a top efficiency again - 4.5 stars.

Thanks to Rivertree for the artist addition. and to Quinino for the last updates
