Naquadah are a female fronted, dark, ambient metal outfit from Auckland, New Zealand whose band name is taken directly from a reference in the popular Sci-Fi TV series 'Stargate' which the band have played homage to. Their songs are largely written about Mythos & Legend, Dreams, Love/Hate, Beginnings/Endings, and Fears.
Naquadah formed in late 2002 by founding members Lou Theobald (vocals) and Holly Spring (keyboards & BV's). Over the years they have evolved from a dark pop rock band into a metal band while retaining their underlying melodic ambiance and masterful story telling. Brothers Chris Mei (drums) and Rob Mei (lead guitar) bring in a powerful rhythm section, and lead guitar mastery. The talented Steve Kelly on guitar brings power metal influences combined with his own blend of 'Viking Metal', and Tom (Doobie) McGill rounds out the lineup on Bass with his succinct and heavy bass lines matched equally by his strong stage persona.
You can expect to be taken on a journey with the Naquadah. Dueling lead guitars with ethnic licks, and haunting keys woven with tales of legend will transport you far from the vagaries of modern life.
