Anubis is a prominent Australian progressive rock sextet formed in Sydney in 2004. They have carved out a specific niche within the international neo-prog scene by blending the melodic sensibilities of 80s Marillion with the conceptual depth and instrumental density of 70s symphonic rock.
Their sound identity is heavily anchored in the use of vintage instrumentation, most notably the Mellotron, which provides a lush, orchestral foundation for their multi-guitar arrangements. The band's career arc is defined by a series of critically acclaimed concept albums, with 'A Tower of Silence' (2011) serving as their international calling card. They occupy a cultural space that connects traditional prog-rock enthusiasts with a newer generation of art-rock listeners. Their influence web includes classic acts like Genesis and Pink Floyd, but their execution aligns them more closely with modern peers like Sylvan and Mystery. Critical consensus highlights their ability to maintain melodic accessibility despite the complexity of their long-form compositions and narrative themes.
