Drama Noir is symphonic black/death metal band from Greece

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 session members only for the recordings, the band released its first full length album "Princess Airam". Almost right after the album’s release 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 for live shows.

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 was released in red and black tape. Shortly after the album’s release, Nyctelios and Drama Noir parted ways, as he wanted to focus solely on his own band. After that, Yngve took the role of singer, along with the drums.
During November of the same year, Drakkar Productions, have also reissued the band's first, out of print, full length album, in limited digipak CD format.
2021 finds the band finishing the recordings for the split EP with the German band Morgenrφthe, titled “Morna / Possenspiel”, which will be released on the 4th of June, once again by Drakkar Productions and at the same time, working on the 3rd full length album.
