Rock-cut tombs, Myra, Demre, Turkey: Myra was a Lycian city, then captured by Ancient Greece and lived under their rule, then the Roman Empire and then the Ottoman in Lycia, which became the small Turkish town of Kale, renamed Demre in 2005, in the present-day Antalya Province of Turkey.

This band is such a dream~ they're so dark and atmospheric... real cemetery photoshoot music. You can support them on Bandcamp here! They're a brilliant band with incredible music ;__;

If this one's not for you, don't stop now – a lot of sounds fall under the goth umbrella and I'm trying to post different stuff every day. No repeats allowed~

If you like this song, I highly recommend these other songs by them:

The Heroon of Trysa: A Lycian Tomb Reappears

The Heroon of Trysa was the tomb of a powerful Lycian dynast surrounded by a precinct wall covered with remarkable mythological friezes. It was discovered in 1841 CE when a Polish-Prussian school teacher and classical philologist, Julius August Schönborn (1801-1857 CE), set out to explore the Teke Peninsula in southwest Turkey. Over 2,000 years earlier, this mountainous region east of Rhodes had been the Kingdom of Lycia. Schönborn recognised the characteristic ogival stone sarcophagi and pillar tombs of the Lycians. What he discovered on 20 December, however, was altogether different, and the subsequent fate of these friezes would embellish an already intriguing archaeological tale.

Homer's Heroes

Considerable mystery surrounds both Trysa and the Lycians. Prompted by the paucity of prehistoric material on the peninsula, archaeologists have suggested the Lycians were nomadic settlers. Pottery excavated in the 1950s CE at the better-known Lycian site of Xanthos suggests they arrived in the area during the 8th century BCE. If correct, this would make their appearance contemporary with Homer, the semi-legendary author of the Iliad and the Odyssey. Indeed, the first literary mention of Lycia is in the Iliad, where Homer writes that "The Lycians were led by Sarpedon with Glaucus, the heroes, Far from Lycia, from the whirling waters of Xanthus" to fight in the Trojan War (Iliad, Book II, line 875). Herodotus later posited that Sarpedon had conducted the Lycians to Turkey (Anatolia) from Crete.

#14 Lycia - Cold

"Cold (1996) is the fifth studio album released by darkwave band Lycia. A dreamy, ambient album perfect for listening to on a still-dark winter morning. Track six, Drifting, is my favorite ^_^"

"Ethereal wave is an underrated genre in the current goth scene and this band is a perfect example of it. Sort of resembles shoegaze with all the layered sound. Great for a contemplative night walk (or background music for your Vampire the Masquerade campaign)"
