Dark metal

Velvet Seal is a young symphonic gothic metal band that formed in 2006 in Hungary. The members are Gabee (vocals), Csabee (guitars & synths), David (bass), Bali (drums). The idea of the band came early summer of 2006, after having numerous rehearsals with a former Hungarian band, searching for something even more, experimenting, gothic, modern, but at the same time both popular and a little more challenging musically.

Founded in 1998 on the smoking ashes of « Sacrement », Ever Since has created its own style of music :
Melodic Dark Metal
This style is half way between black metal and heavy metal, accompagnied by keyboards and dark voice, that will lift you thourgh different dark and tourmented atmosphere. In june 2001 Ever Since recorded the first album called “Into a reign of pain”. First album and first big experience because it was recorded live during four different concerts. Sold over 500 copies it was a huge hit according to specialized media.

Manes started around the end of 1992/early 93. It started as a project with Sargatanas on vocals and Cern on guitars, synths, programming etc. – basically everything besides the vocals. With that line-up Manes recorded the three demos „Maanens natt” (93), „Ned i stillheten” (94) and „Til kongens grav de døde vandrer” (95). The two first demos was later re-released by the Hammerheart Records sub-label „Unveiling the Wicked” in 98.
