Agathi

Agathi is a new Sri Lankan black metal band that burst onto the music scene in 2022, hailing from an area between Siyane koralaya (present Gampaha) and Beligal koralaya (present Kegalle). According to an idea of Ghoradhwesha ඝෝරද්වේෂ, Gurusinghe, Nishendra Vishrawa Fernando and Bheemaghosha භීමඝෝෂ worked on first materials of the concepts and the music. After Mohagra මෝහාග්‍ර and Chandagra ජන්දාග්‍ර joined for guitars according to the plan. The band's lyrics and concepts explore themes of Individualism, Political and religious conflicts, Buddhist literature and Philosophy and the history of ancient Sri Lanka. They fearlessly challenge traditional beliefs and cultural practices that they view as limiting, and their music is a rallying call for those who seek to break free from society's constraints.

Despite being a new band, Agathi has already attracted a dedicated following of people who appreciate their uncompromising approach to music and their willingness to speak truth to power. Their music is powerful and commanding, and they are poised to become a major voice in the Sri Lankan black metal scene and beyond. Fans eagerly anticipated the release of their new EP, "Asamgna (අසංඥ)," which will be released soon marking a massive entrance into the Sri Lankan extreme music scene.
