There's something profoundly moving about this band. I listen to a lot of underground metal bands whose sound is so far removed from the taste of the masses that their obscurity is not only understood, it's almost justified. But Athenaeum have a sound so rich, so touching and sharply crafted, that it absolutely gobsmacks me that they didn't become a huge act. As I've written in one of the shoutboxes for one of their songs, it makes me feel they are my little secret, kept locked away in the recesses of my late teens, a comforting music box that takes me to a time when I was younger, lovelorn, and always looking for a good song to sweep me away.

I agree with Kauza and Herrsolera. They were a great band and are sorely missed. It's a shame they didn't get more popular when they were still together.

kauza put it best. There simply aren't words to convey how much I wish this band were still making music.

One of the most underrated bands ever. As a metalhead with penchance for pop-rock, these guys are top notch, in spite of (of perhaps because of?) their country influences. It's a shame they didn't continue with more recordings after Hourglass ...
