Eibon la Furies are an English black metal band inspired by Victorian themes, especially the occult side of society. Their sound is experimental, with an early industrial leaning that became more progressive when a full live band was developed.
The experimental black metal band was started by Lord Eibon Blackwood. They released their first CD in 2006, Something Wicked This Way Comes, followed by Yours Truly... From Hell in 2007. These two CDs featured singer Lady Titania Blackwood and Spectral Symphony on keyboards.
In 2008, a live band was assembled, consisting of The Furious Host on bass and Battalion on drums and percussion, with live performers Cara and Leah.
Eibon la Furies have garnered positive reviews from the press and internet, who think the band are unique. Blast! Magazine said, "Eibon La Furies are deserving of your attention. They are probably the most "English-sounding" band around at the minute as well, so if your opinion of the UK's metal output has become a little jaded over the last few years this is a good place to return to." Terrorizer Magazine stated, "Eibon la Furies manage to induce dizziness with (their) freeform adaptation and juxtaposition of genre shrapnel, from techno beats to goth to fierce BM to neo-folk". Zero Tolerance Magazine opined, "This mix of black metal, gothic hysteria and horror movie soundtrack inspired soundscapes is pretty entertaining, worthy of further attention".
