18 years of music history. The Dithyrambs FORMED in 1989 in the formation bass, guitar/vocals, keyboard, drums. The early influences, which TO THE PRESENT DAY are still significant to the band, "came primarily" from the psychedelic era, the most energetic Rock of the 60"s/70"s and TRASH METAL, at the time very popular. Their songs are self-composed; written by Andrea Pacini and arranged by the band in a collaborative effort.
