Aethellis thrills
listeners with its blend of catchy melodies, soaring vocal
harmonies and intricate instrumental performances. It is vintage,
yet modern, yet original progressive rock combining the
soaring majesty of classic symphonic rock with a contemporary
rhythmic feel in addition to funky guitar, pyrotechnical bass
and drums. The new album, Aethellis: Northumbria 
"It's still all progressive rock, but there are a lot of variants on that general musical theme here... This is a great disc. Those that liked the first one should like this one, perhaps more so. It would also make an excellent introduction to a killer modern progressive rock act." - read the full track-by-track review at Music Street Journal "Aethellis is a band that's kind of everywhere in their approach to symphonic rock, but there's always the constant of great songwriting. "Northumbria" is an album full of great melody and atmosphere with production that pleases the ear. Not just pleasing, but memorable."- read the full review by Progulator at The Prog Archives
"While
the name and cover art give the impression that this will be another
pastoral affair, the album is actually much more
eclectic, in the way
prog should be!" - Blogdegezou - a blog about Yes and
prog rock in general "Want
to say to all of Aethellis your album is a 10/10 top on the pile piece
of work!" - Honey
For Your Ears (UK
Internet Radio) Northumbria
is feeling , finesse, hard work, dedication and effort. It's an album
with a soul that transcends time , is an intelligent, optimistic work
... On "Northumbria" Aethellis has captured the very essence of the original prog/rock pioneers who soldiered on to help shape the changing face of progressive rock as it edged into the 80s.... The album is highly recommended to fans to symphonic rock, neo-progressive, and fusion. And anyone with a healthy respect for keyboard driven prog/rock. - read the full review by Joseph Shingler at ProgNaut.com ... undoubted talent is clear from tracks like "The Peace Path" with its bouncy and sunny jazz/funk-meets-Yes vibe, and "Sounds Good," which could sit next to any of Brand X's more commerical-minded offerings. - Gary Mackenzie for Prog Magazine, issue #47 (July 2, 2014) The first album Aethellis : Aethellis The first album has many influences including rock, classical, synth pop, funk, jazz and even hip-hop. This either represents wide tastes or an inability to focus (i.e. "eclectic"). Lyrics and Credits page for both Aethellis albums Eatmusic/Honey
