New Age is a range of spiritual or religious practices and beliefs which rapidly grew in Western society during the early 1970s. Its highly eclectic and unsystematic structure makes a precise definition difficult. Although many scholars consider it a religious movement, its adherents typically see it as spiritual or as unifying Mind-Body-Spirit, and rarely use the term New Age themselves. Scholars often call it the New Age movement, although others contest this term and suggest it is better seen as a milieu or zeitgeist.

Their music features a folkish 'natural' feel and themes such as the beauty of the natural world, existentialism, and storytelling. The vocals within Viathyn's music are also more subdued than typical power metal vocal heights, which lends to the natural and existential themes of their albums. The band's name is a play on the word 'leviathan', and has no true definition, but when describing the band can be defined as 'progressive, melodic, grandiose, innovative and emotional'.
