Anubis is a cornerstone of the modern Australian progressive rock scene, emerging from Sydney in 2004. Led by Robert James Moulding and David Eaton, the band has built a reputation for high-concept, cinematic art rock that bridges the gap between 70s symphonic prog and 90s neo-prog.
Their sound identity is anchored by the use of vintage instrumentation, including one of Australia's few working Mellotrons, which lends an 'analog warmth' rarely found in contemporary digital productions. Their career arc is defined by a series of critically acclaimed concept albums, with 'A Tower of Silence' (2011) serving as their international breakthrough. They occupy a cultural space alongside European peers like Sylvan and Barock Project, emphasizing melody and narrative over pure technical showmanship. Critical consensus highlights their sophisticated vocal arrangements and ability to maintain thematic cohesion over long runtimes. They are a staple of the international festival circuit, notably performing at Night of the Prog, cementing their status as a premier melodic progressive act.
