Formed in the summer of 2007 in the town of Crystal Lake IL, the members brought to the table everything they had to offer with no hesitation. Being aware of the great position they were in, being that all members ages range from 18-21, they did not waste anytime to get their foot in the door of the musical industry and show that they have something to prove.

Getting right to work in the first few forming weeks, Thyateira wrote most of their first full length album "Beholder" which was recorded at BOTA studios in the spring of 2008 and released september 2008. BOTA studios founder/ former Fleshold guitarist/ The Atomic Fireballs Don Byczynski (a.k.a dB) jumped on the Thyateira project to help strategically manage the band into the musical world. So far accomplishing such feats as campaigning "Beholder" in 500 radio markets all over North America and being FMQB number 6 most added with 32 adds and CMJ number 6 most added with 55 adds, the band has already begun their first steps of exposure to the world.

Exploring new markets, the band has worked with director Chuck Brueckmann of Obey Media to record a music video for their single "Through Dark Eyes" which will be pumped into the eyes of as many willing fans as possible.

The band has also worked with former Killing Joke/ Nine Inch Nails/ Pig Face drummer Martin Atkins in recording the track " The House That Pain Built" for an up coming Killing Joke Compilation. Thyateira's number one goal is to spend the rest of their lives doing whatever it takes to spread their music to the world. With all disregard to any boundaries or limitations, Thyateira is nothing short of a thriving powerhouse who have only just begun their relentless endeavor to greatness.

Thyateira has shared with stage with such metal giants as; Hatebreed, Type O Negative, Testament, Dirge Within and Unearth to name a few.
