ADYTUM was formed in the Autumn of 2004 when Brendan Dean and Ryan Lewis began talking of forming a band to the likes of Opeth, Dream Theater, and even Rush. Ryan, having grown up with Daniel Bonofoglio, formed a union thick as concrete within the walls of Dan's basement. The triad of heroes, likened to that of a ka-tet, began practicing and writing at a monstrous level, creating what is now to be known as Adytum's first battle cry, "The Willow's Haunting".
A fair creation for a first song, the triumvirate decided to bring in a fourth member on drums. Dean Williams, an old school mate of Brendan's, was asked if he felt he had the power within to step in as the fourth member. He accepted the challenge, and thus the first full mutation of Adytum was conjured.
2005 found Adytum establishing themselves in the local Toronto metal community, forming a strong union with former Serbian heavyweight champion and future bassist Marko Vukovic ( SYMETARY / BLASTOMYCOSIS ). Together, Marko introduced them to an array of individuals, including their now label mates WILL OF THE ANCIENTS and ultimately their label masters, Robert Cranny and Brent Lockman of NORTHERN STORM RECORDS. As Adytum played more shows, they found themselves writing more songs, including "Wendigo", "Trinity Canvas", both found on their debut CD ECHOES OF REFUGE, and the now forgotten tale, "The Lich Gate".
The summer of 2006 found Adytum recording their debut cd, "ECHOES OF REFUGE", which their current label, Northern Storm Records, picked up. It was during this time, however, that Adytum found its first change of members. One hot summer night, after a long day's work at the lumber mill, Ryan dropped Brendan off on an aimless dirt road near the famous "Orb" of York Region. Brendan walked for hours, eventually entering the only house he could find. It was there that a man by the name of Chase Burns confronted him, claiming that he knew of no able warriors to join him in battle. Brendan, knowing that the warrior spirit of Dean had diminished, invited Chase to come battle with his now triad of warriors. It was at that very moment that Adytum as he is now was born.
Shortly after the release of the bands first album "ECHOES OF REFUGE" Adytum split ways of with original bassist. With two up coming gigs Adytum asked Marko Vukovic if he would fill in for them. After several practices the two sides decided it only made sense to unite. In April 2009 founder/vocalist/guitarist Brendan Dean decided to step down from the ranks to focus on school.
Adytum is currently working on their 2nd album. Title, songs and artwork will be announced soon along with a new more intense line up.

I am now recording for a new set of releases called the "Persona
Series". These cassettes will be commissioned works (not by content,
but by payment) for individuals. If John Smith in London, England
wants his own Zebulon Kosted album, I will make a 45 minute album (one
side of a 90 minute tape), 2 hand drawn mini posters, I will name the
album after him (Zebulon Kosted - John Smith), and the fan will retain
all rights to the recording (for use of any future release, sampling,
or broadcasting rights). One copy of the album will remain in my
personal collection, and one will be sent to the customer, so that the
only copy that will be in circulation will be John Smiths copy! Each
album is available for the ridiculously low price of $10 (not including
shipping), and will be shipped in its completed form no later than 6
weeks from the date of purchase!!!
