about

Opia were formed in 2022 when Tereza Rohelova (ex-Agrona, ex-Wolvencrown) and Dan Tregenna (ex-Dystopian Wrath) attended a gig for the Finnish doom metal band Kypck. After being inspired by the performance they immediately reached out to some of their best friends and former band members, guitarist Phoenix Griffiths (ex-Agrona), keyboard player Jorge Afonso (Scandelion, ex-Dystopian Wrath) and bassist Richard Rees (Ofnus, ex-Democratus).

Since then the band has worked on their debut album and preparing for their upcoming live performances.

lyrics

Accursed sickness
Wasting my body away
Encased in decay

Terminal
Begging for the end
For my spirit to be freed

Please stay by my side
I know it hurts to see me this way
Please take my hand
Reassure me that my peace draws near

Will you remember me?
Not as I am
But that which I once was
Will you recall the vibrance
I held in my prime?

When you recall my face
Will it be full of laughter?
Promise you won't forget
The vibrance of my life

A pale,
waxen, morbid shell
A hideous shade of myself

My greatest fear
Is this deathly state
Becomes your memory of me

Please calm my fears
Soothe me with tales of better days
So I may drift into the night
A memory of when I felt alive
