Artsi, Lotus Thief have been making waves in the underground music scene since their inception in 2012. Their debut album, "Rervm," was a critical success, with Pitchfork praising its "otherworldly atmosphere" and "epic scope." Since then, they have continued to push the boundaries of their genre, incorporating elements of electronic music and avant-garde experimentation into their music.

Lotus Thief's latest album, "Oresteia," is a tour de force of emotion and intensity. Inspired by the ancient Greek tragedy of the same name, the album explores themes of revenge, redemption, and the cyclical nature of violence. From the shimmering beauty of tracks like "Agamemnon" to the raw power of songs like "Furies," "Oresteia" is a journey through the darkest depths of the human soul.

In a music industry often dominated by formulaic pop hits, Lotus Thief stand out as a beacon of creativity and originality. With their genre-defying sound and thought-provoking lyrics, they have carved out a niche all their own. Whether you're a die-hard metalhead or a casual music fan, Lotus Thief is a band that demands your attention. You may not always know what to expect from them, but one thing is for certain: you won't be disappointed.
