Rhea's Obsession, who takes its name from the Greek Goddess Rhea, is a band from Canada. Their music mixes several different styles including gothic rock, darkwave, and world music, similar to Dead Can Dance.

Brief history

Rhea's Obsession's first project was the 1995 score for "Tabulae Anatomacae Sex", an experimental dance film. After working on scores for television and film, they recorded "Initiation" in 1996. Two songs from the album (Cun Lacoudhir and Death by Moonlight) were used in the TV series La Femme Nikita.

In 1998, Rhea's Obsession performed at Convergence IV [CINDY MCGLYNN [http://www.eye.net/eye/issue/issue_08.20.98/music/goths20.php Weekend of the living dead] Eye Weekly] , an annual North American gothic festival.

While touring in support of "Initiation", Rhea caught the attention of Metropolis Records, who released Rhea's second album, "Between Earth and Sky", and a reissue of "Initiation" (called "Re:Initiation") in 2001.
