Pythia is a heavy metal band from London, England.

Pythia is a group of classically and heavy-metal inspired musicians. Lead singer Emily Alice Ovenden is perhaps better know as a member of the No.1 selling classical act the Mediaeval Baebes and Classic FM favourite Celtic Legend.cite web

title=Celtic Legend at Classic FM] Drummer Marc Dyos and guitarist Ross White are originally from a thrash metal project ‘Descent’ and the line up is completed with Richard Holland on keyboards, Tim Neale on lead guitar and Andy Nixon-Corfield on bass.

The name Pythia is taken from ancient Greece. The Pythia was the priestess at Apollo's oracle in Delphi who operated as a vehicle for Apollo's will. In keeping with this, Ovenden’s lyrics explore the darker side of life, love, passion and supernatural. cite web

Very early in their career, Pythia have secured live support slots for such well-known acts as Tarja Turunen, Ministry and Fields of the Nephilim. The band are currently writing songs for their debut album and are planning more live performances.

On 26th September 2008 Pythia played their first headline show at The Underworld venue in Camden, London. This followed the late cancellation of original headliners Amberian Dawn from Finland. The following day they played the Dames of Darkness festival in Birmingham before taking a break from live performances to complete the band's debut album and honour commitments to other projects.
