Viathyn is a Canadian progressive/power metal band from Calgary, Alberta. Their music features a folkish 'natural' feel and themes such as the beauty of the natural world, existentialism, and storytelling. The vocals within Viathyn's music are also more subdued than typical power metal vocal heights, which lends to the natural and existential themes of their albums. The band's name is a play on the word 'leviathan', and has no true definition, but when describing the band can be defined as 'progressive, melodic, grandiose, innovative and emotional'.
In October 2014 they released their second full-length album, Cynosure with a streaming track Ageless Stranger.
