Taking their name from the mythical sea creature in Homer’s Odyssey Karybdis aim to create waves of their own. The Anglo-French-Indian quintet play a powerful, unpretentious blend of melodic death metal, thrash and hardcore and are looking to break into the UK metal scene in 2009. Guitarist Pierro Dujardin and drummer Mitch McGugan formed Karybdis in late 2008 after leaving their previous bands to pursue something much heavier. Pierro’s childhood friend and long-time collaborator Gil Renault was added on vocals along with Harsha Dasari (guitar) and Jay Gladwin (ex-Shut Your Eyes And You’ll Burst Into Flames) on bass. After an intensive writing period Karybdis recorded a 3-track EP with Tariq Mattar (Megadeth, Iron Maiden) and are ready to bring their explosive sound to a stage near you. {}
