History

Dani Cano (vocals, guitar) and Alex Torres (bass) found Noctisdark in 1999 in Alcanar (Catalonia -Spain). As a musical project, Noctisdark expected to free some vital interests that their other band Ignis Aeterni didn't satisfy. So, with those two parallel projects they could cover a great range of styles in metal.

Ignis Aeterni had a defined style yet, but Noctisdark began to experiment with different styles and tendencies. At first, they began to work in two differentiated themes: The astral one, influenced the band Samael and their CD 'Passage', and the vampiric one, influenced by bands such Cradle Of Filth (think that it was on the end of nineties, remember the 'Cradle Of Fear' boom). With the two lines in the style of music and some covers, Noctisdark began to play concerts, but always as a secondary project of Ignis Aeterni. The only remains of that time is a self-made demo called 'Cosmagony'. Nowadays this demo has disappeared.

In 2002, Alex and Dani began to give more importance to the Noctisdark project and to work with a more personal style due to the years of experimentation. In that year, the first sketches of what will become their first serious work, 'The Four Songs...', is composed. Their new style has a very different sound compared to the predecessor stuff, and it is not so influenced by other bands as before.

Two years after, in 2004, Noctisdark style was entirely defined yet. It can be defined in many ways, but if we must put it a label, we can say it is a mixture of doom and death metal with keyboard atmospheres.

In 2006-2007 the first official mini-CD (self-produced) is recorded and in autumn 2007 'The Four Songs...' is released.

In 2010 Alex and Dani decides to complete the line-up with Albert Nadal on drums and Hyban Sparda on guitars and begin again to play concerts. In summer 2010 the band wins the 'Carpa Jove' band competition.

In 2011 the band releases a new CD with the current line-up, 'The Roots of Dreamers'.
