Formed in 2013, Levitas combine agonising black metal with reverb-drenched shoegaze soundscapes, taking inspiration from philosophy, transience and human suffering.

One of the first bands to be sponsored by GHDs.

points of reference are all of sonic youth (noisy early jams, swervy alt rock, lateral semi-free whole group improv, extra curricular activities), spacemen 3, mbv, shoegaze and the cocteaus and all them magic 80s 4ad vibes in general, ron asheton stooges, no wave, earth/dylan carlson, noise rock, most grunge but nirvana specifically, syd barrett floyd, flower-corsano duo, chavez, daisy chainsaw/queen adreena/ruby throat/liar, flower/anything with katie jane garside on it, smashing pumpkins, john mcgeogh, louisville post rock, loren mazzacane connors, kyuss, post punk, chuggy heavy hawkwind, pil until levene scarpered/got booted out, the mighty sleep/om/high on fire triumvirate, pj harvey, placebo, and so on. i like melodic catchy stuff as well like oasis or the sundays or eels and all that timeless 60s pop/freakbeat/garage/psych but, alas, can't write a tune for toffee. also do acoustic stuff and muck about with beats as per most people with free apps on their phone but mostly just got electric guitar here. [ms] are mountain shroud, a two guitar duo with mike, [rbv] are rockabye venus, a classic gtr/drums two piece with adam, [jf] is me on my billy. oh, all lyrics & (lead) vocals are mine too.
