Lydian Sea was one of the first bands labelled “Progressive Melodic Metal” when they formed back in 1990. Huge harmonies simmering over complex rhythm guitars became a staple of this bands trademark.

Out of the darkness, the brightest stars shine; out of the fire, the purest gold.

In 2015 Ainsworth was a shortlist nominee for the Juno Award for the Electronic Album of the Year. “Lydia Ainsworth’s pop experiments sound like they’re made for big screens.
