In 2007, Blackened Death Metal dark matter particles aggregated and formed MITHRIDATIC. In 2015, they unleashed their debut single, 'The Hunt Is On'. In 2016, they burst immense blasts of dark energy, 'Miserable Miracle', their debut, followed by a full European irradiation with NILE and MELECHESH and countless gigs creating the new black hole you’re about to discover: 'He Who Lies Underneath'.
Filmed with multiple cameras and professionally recorded in their hometown of Saint-Etienne, France, 'He Who Lies Underneath' is a full concert that will plunge the audience into a whirlwind of a nauseating, oppressing and sickening experience through nine tracks retracing the band’s ten years-long carreer featuring not only songs from 'Miserable Miracle', but also from 'The Hunt Is On' and more.
In a time musicianship reaches unbelievable technical levels and technology helps any band sounding huge on stage, what makes a real difference is the ability for artists to create a real experience for the audience ; an experience that’s often sadly only based on visual gimmicks and an orthodox 'Metal' imagery but few are the ones that, out of pure presence and thank to a razor-sharp song-writing exploring personal inner struggles and channeling psychological experiences, are transcending it all through a real live embodiment and create a nearly ritualistic atmosphere that will leave its mark on the listener’s mind.
MITHRIDATIC is definitely one of these few gifted artists and 'He Who Lies Underneath' one of these captivating live experiences and it will be available on most VOD and audio / video streaming / download platforms on January 19, 2018.
You’re not even ready.

Biography
France, 2007: MITHRIDATIC is tearing its hymen, playing old-school Death Metal and brutalizing European stages with the likes of BELPHEGOR, SVART CROWN and more and releasing the “Dawn of Bitterness” and “Guillotine Supremacy” demos until the brainwave becomes a flat line in 2010.
Back from the dead in 2013, now with world-record-breaking drummer Kevin PARADIS (SVART CROWN and live for the likes of MELECHESH, BENIGHTED, AGRESSOR and many others…) beating the skins, MITHRIDATIC records a new demo, “The Hunt is On”, showcasing the band’s new direction focusing on darker and oppressive atmospheres and faster tempos, a vile and corrosive sick atmosphere before entering the studio in May 2015 to record their debut full-length, “Miserable Miracle“.
With its oppressive heaviness and its to-the-throat approach of nasty and twisted song-writing, the album gets them to embark an a full Europe tour with NILE and MELECHESH and appear at many festivals, proving the band is even more menacing live and their brand new “He Who Lies Underneath” live album will definitely prove everyone MITHRIDATIC is one of these very few bands able to create a really sickening atmosphere while on stage.
