TROYA is a quite obscure symphonic krautrock inspired german band that was formed in 1972 in Werne an der Lippe by Elmar Wegmann, Klaus Pannewig, Wilhelm Weischer. The band was first called Drastic. They changed the name and the line up to record symphonic psychedelic influenced music based principally on electric guitar, mellotron and vocals. The band disbanded during the end of the 1970s.Influenced by classical and baroque music, in 1976 they released their unique self-financed album; Point of Eruption, with very little means. This album was originally pressed in a quantity of 200 and sold at concerts. It features enchanting melancholic music with long instrumental passages, mainly guitar and organ.The music is symphonic prog and sounds like Camel of Eloy.
