Mithras
There are at least two bands known to use this name.

1) An extreme metal band from Warwickshire, United Kingdom. (1998-Present)
2) A traditional English folk band from Northamptonshire, United Kingdom. (1974-1996)

1) Mithras, the extreme metal band:

Open your eyes… Awaken your senses… Gaze carefully upon a bleak dimension of blastbeats, savage frequencies and shattering vocal expulsions. Enter the domain of Mithras, one of the UK’s most uncompromising and extreme bands to date.

Beginning their career in 1998, Leon Macey and Rayner Coss originally took the name Imperator, casting their mold in a world of ancient history and mythology. After releasing a demo titled ‘Gods Among Men’, Mithras was born with a new demo entitled ‘Dreaming In Splendour’ which drew the interest of Golden Lake Productions. Crushingly brutal, bombastic and obscure, their punishing debut album ‘Forever Advancing… Legions’ made tremors in the underground upon its release in 2002. But greater things were still to come.

In 2003 Mithras evolved. Gone was the ancient god-worship of their previous incarnation. In its place stood a fusion of cosmic ambience and pitiless extremity: Second album ‘Worlds Beyond The Veil’ shattered boundaries, astounded critics, achieved a controversial 10/10 in Terrorizer Magazine, and secured a major deal with Candlelight Records. “Complex, inspired and exploratory this is the kind of boldly cinematic death metal that demands to be relished. This is truly astonishing, world-class music.”Dom Lawson, 4/5 Kerrang! Dec 2003
