Dies Irae - Modern Black Metal Reinvented! http://www.diesirae.ro http://www.myspace.com/diesiraeromania Dies Irae was born in November 1995, as a Bucharest metal group. They recorded the first demo (containing 2 songs) in 1996 and boldly went everywhere to reach their goals - on national and local radio and on the national television, being presented as the new hope for the metal movement in the 90's Romania. Four years of intense live activity followed. Dies Irae was already considered a very powerful live band and they took advantage of this. They recorded two official releases, an EP in 1996 and an LP in 1998. The band continuously evolved and their sound changed in a major way through these years, making Dies Irae one of the best metal bands in Romania. The year 2000 saw the release of the first Dies Irae video, Warganism (broadcasted on on all the major Romanian TV stations), but also it saw a band torn apart, as Victor Stoica went to the United States to complete his studies. Dies Irae invented in 2001 one side project that still resists today- PHOBIA. In 2005, Dies Irae celebrated a decade of metal and really strong friendship inside the band. Victor Stoica came back to Romania and they recorded in December a new single, Shadow Boxing, to be released in the first months of 2006, along with a new video, to prove all that rock'n'roll ain't gonna go down that easy. And the story is just begining. At this time Dies Irae is looking for an international record label and promoter in order to take their music across the globe.
