Artist: DARK NOVA
Album: SIVILLA (DIGI)

Release date:
Media type: CD

The band was formed in 1987 under the name DARK DEVILS. They released their first demo titled “Shrinel”, a combination of heavy metal and classical music. In 1991 they signed with the Hellenic record company "Molon Lave Records" and recorded their debut album titled “The Dark Rhapsodies”. At the time some members of the band were working with other bands as session musicians.

The debut album was released in 1993 and received positive response both from press and fans, succeeding with a number of live shows all over Greece. In 1994 the band took part in the German compilation CD, titled “Metal Under Germany vol. 3”, which was released by the “Sound Phaze Int.”.

The incapability of "Molon Lave Records" to support the LP efficiently and release it on CD deprived the band of a further recognition. Some changes occurred in the band’s line up during the last 3 years. A few promo tapes were produced, which were reviewed in many heavy metal magazines, like “BURN” in Japan and “THE CIRCLE” in Germany, receiving fair ratings.

In 1999 they released their successful second album titled “1999 a step beyond...?” by “SEVEN recs.”.

After many live shows, a lot of work and line up changes they return with their new masterpiece “Sivilla” from Black Lotus Records.
