"In
Heaven"
is a project
I created, back
in early 2003
in order to
release a demo with a band we were jamming
and played live
together.
Unfortunately I faced many difficulties with the band
members, so
I
decided to break
it
up. After a
long search I found new band members to
bring this band back to life.
On the vocals I kept our original singer, Elvira Mitraka,
on the bass
lines
I
got Babis
Anogeianakis, Antonis Ryakiotakis on the keyboards and
Spyros Thanasoulas on the drums!
We've
recorded our first demo called
"…With
You"
at
"Non-Smoking"
studios at Heraklion, Crete (November 2003) with the
precious aid of our very close friend Mihalis Rinakakis
(Event Horizon X). This is a two-track work that we are all
very proud of, but we can’t say the same for the audio
quality!
In the middle
of 2004 we almost broke the band up again, so we've decided
to move on with Elvira and Babis as a "trio"...
Important
decisions were taken so this is the time that the idea of
our "darchangel" shows up! (darchangel = dark
angel/archangel). Eleven tracks composed by the band were
about to be recorded into the "Dark Room" studio that we've
set up in our base at Heraklion. Moving on all alone was
pretty difficult but many believers showed up! Mihalis
Rinakakis did all the mixing and mastering, Sakis
re-mastered our work and all artwork is made by Elias
Kontogiannis.
We were looking
for a record company and that’s the point that Mihalis and
Giannis from Burning Star Records showed up! They believed
in us and as you image, everything went the right way so now
our first official release is in your hands!
Our music
is based on
atmospheric metal with heavy guitars and keyboards. The
addition of female vocals and the dark
lyrics
make (we believe so at least) our music so difficult to
categorize with one or two words, but I think that
"Atmospheric Gothic Metal" is the best way to call our
music!
We believe that
we've done the right thing to go on with our first
full-length album and we want to believe that you think
exactly the same! Let's just see what the future has to show
for us!
