Dylath-Leen is a fictional city in H. P. Lovecraft's Dream Cycle and appears in The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath ( 1926) and Brian Lumley's short story Dylath-Leen.
It is built mostly of basalt, and its streets are both dark and uninviting. It is one of the most mysterious cities in Lovecraft's Dreamlands. The citizens buy rubies from strange, turbaned men in sinister black galleys (whose rowers are never seen), though the famous dreamer Randolph Carter has advised against this practice. In the Lumley story this plot-line is continued, with a new dreamer discovering that the moon-beasts have finally taken over the city, despite Carter's warnings.
Dylath-Leen is a French death metal band formed in 1999. Rather unusual among death metal bands, they feature a female singer/guitar player. The band released their first album in 2002, which in 2005 was distributed by Thundering Records; their second album was released on Great Dane/ Season of Mist. They have played at such venues as Hellfest Summer Open Air (2007), Dokk'em Open Air (2008), and Metal Female Voices Fest (2007, 2008), and tour regularly in France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. In 2010 they toured with Samael and Arch Enemy to promote their 3rd album recorded in January / February of this year, and played the Metal Female Voices Fest also with Arch Enemy.
The band actively played gigs and festivals until 2013 and is now in the writing process for their 4th album. As of mid-2014, no release date, concept or album name has been revealed yet.
