Anubis is a cornerstone of the modern Australian progressive rock scene, formed in Sydney in 2004. Led by the creative partnership of Robert James Moulding and David Eaton, the band has carved out a niche in the 'neo-progressive' subgenre, characterized by high production values, melodic accessibility, and complex conceptual narratives.
Their sound identity is heavily defined by the use of vintage equipment, most notably the Mellotron, which lends an organic, 1970s-inspired warmth to their otherwise modern arrangements. Their career arc saw a significant breakthrough with the 2011 release 'A Tower of Silence,' which garnered international acclaim and established them as a fixture on the European festival circuit, including prestigious slots at Night of the Prog. Critically, they are praised for their ability to sustain long-form compositions without losing melodic focus. They sit within a web of influence that connects 70s symphonic rock (Genesis, Pink Floyd) to the 90s neo-prog revival, serving as a bridge for fans of cinematic, story-driven rock music.
