Ring of Gyges is a young and progressive metal band from Reykjavík, Iceland. With intriguing and odd rhythmic patterns, a fresh set of eyes on the 70s version of prog rock - and an ability to transfer this to the modern age prog metal, Ring of Gyges is combining several worlds of music in their approach towards prog perfection.

Their first LP, Beyond the Night Sky, was released in 2017 to critical acclaim. Critics praised the ambition and varied style of the debut album, which included several guest performances including a choir, a string quartet, saxophone, flute, and clarinet.
