Dol Theeta is the second project of the "Electronica Art Metal" vision of composer Thanasis Lightbridge, and includes Kortessa (Vocals) and Dim (Guitars) members also in Dol Ammad. Thanasis' vision of total artistic freedom in music involved blending sounds and feelings from extremely diverse music genres such as heavy metal, electronica and opera/classical. Having released 2 albums with Dol Ammad, Thanasis needed to create more sides of his music in order to fully materialize his musical freedom. (Thanasis: It was clear from my early experiments in sound that there are countless ways to express and evolve this vision. If the words "Electronica", "Art" and "Metal" were chemicals in test-tubes, I often feel like a crazy scientist locked in his illegal laboratory doing unorthodox mixings and tests. The results of the tests using these elements can sometimes be so diverse that it makes me feel like a kind of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde! Due to this fact I came to the conclusion that if I wanted to express my vision freely and in an unobstructed way, it would require more musical vehicles than just the one called Dol Ammad. That is why it has been about 2 years now that I have the feeling of Electronica Art Metal as a Pyramid! Or like a polyhedral dice! As I see things now there will be 3 projects including Dol Ammad and their names will share the word "Dol". These projects will be like a different side of the same coin. They will be interconnected but also very different at the same time.) Thus Dol Theeta were born to express a more atmospheric and psychedelic version of "Electronica Art Metal".
