The UK based band Ostara (formerly Strength Through Joy) consists of vocalist/guitarist Richard Leviathan with a changing supporting cast. The first album 'Secret Homeland' despite some minor industrial characteristics was a rather straight forward neo folk based album that sounded fairly similar to the bands earlier work as STJ, whereas the bands sophomore release 'Kingdom Gone' introduced a more noticeable rock and electronic element into the bands music, but with still a neo folk underscore.
