Lunacyst

Formed in 2009, Lunacyst, with the name taken from the words Lunatic (Insanity) and Cyst (Skin Infection) are a four-piece metal band from Riffa, Bahrain. Our style is most easily described as extreme metal, with some death and thrash influences. The line-up and name has kept changing since the birth of the idea of the band in 1999, with various names such as Phat Nutz, Path Under Calm and most recently The Mushroom Massacre. Our influences in metal have also grown heavier and louder since we first got into metal in the 90s.
