Thermopyle Lost / Album
Home to Ithaca
A storm-dark Odyssey album of memory, exile, and the impossible pull of home.
Home to Ithaca is a dark progressive metal voyage through storm, memory, longing, temptation, ruin, and the impossible pull of home. Inspired by the Odyssey, the album follows the long way back across the wine-dark sea, where victory has already ended, but the war inside the soul has not.

The Wine-Dark Sea
A mythic crossing where water behaves like memory: beautiful, violent, and unwilling to release the dead.
Black Ships
The vessels of return move through the archive as both transport and burden, carrying victory home in ruined form.
Ithaca
Home is not only a destination. It is the place that asks what survived the journey, and what did not.
Bronze and Grief
Ancient metal, salt wind, distant fires, and the private cost of living long enough to reach the shore.
