Drama Noir

Drama Noir is a symphonic black/death metal band from Greece. The band was formed in 2017 by Mephisto (ex-Disharmony) and in 2018, with the help of George Daskalakis on vocals, Michalis Kripasis on bass and Yngve (Gungnir, Flames, ex-W.E.B.) on drums as session members, they recorded the band’s first single, "A Forgotten Warrior". Almost immediately, Yngve became a full member and with Gregory Barlas (vocals), and the worldwide known soprano Elpiniki Zervou also joining as full members, the band released its first full length album "Princess Airam". Due to personal reasons, Gregory decided to part ways with the band and without losing time, Peisithanatos joined on bass as a full member and Vlassis Ziouvas was recruited on vocals and rhythm guitar as a session member.

In 2019, Drama Noir performed a live show along with thrash metal veterans Piranha and the doom/death metal band Selefice, also one of the oldest bands in Greece. During the same year and shortly after the aforementioned live show, Nyctelios (Synteleia) joined Drama Noir on vocals and in 2020, finally with a solid and steady lineup, the band recorded its 2nd album, "A Necromancy Lore", which was mixed and engineered by Savvas Betinis (Acid Death) at S.I.A. Recordings.

The mastering for the CD format was also done by Savvas Betinis, while the mastering for the LP format, was done by Achilleas Kalantzis (Varathron), at Suncord Audiolab studios. During May of 2020, the band signed a deal with the French label Drakkar Productions, regarding this new album, which was released on digipak CD and gatefold LP formats, on the 31st of August. Almost at the same time, another deal was signed, this time with the Polish label Fallen Temple and the tape format of the album is soon to be released.
