ALANTIA

'Alantia'

Dutch Gothic Metal newcomers Alantia released their self-titled debut demo back in 2010, it sees the very essence of Dutch Gothic Metal that has captivated many across the globe, whilst not as symphonic or melodic as their fellow countrymen Within Temptation, the Gothic music certainly has no definitive contrast from both bands. The sextet from the capital Amsterdam prove that there is more to their country than windmills, clogs and canals, but in terms of power Alantia are more powerful than any cannabis used in the capital. With the keyboard developing the atmosphere, the other five members use all darkness summoned to finalise a promising Dutch Metal band.
