About Me

The deranged brainchild of instrumentalist G9 and singer-songwriter NiNi, Corvo is the culmination of contrasting, yet compatible sounds of theatrical opera and crushing guitars, elegant symphonies and churning electronics. Horror in all its forms is the common thread woven through Corvo's art. Born in part from a passion for cinema, Corvo's songs often instinctively evolve in "three acts," similar to the conventions of film. This cinematic flair has not gone unnoticed among the horror community, and has lately drawn the attention of independent filmmakers and production companies.

Corvo's dark machinery begins with founder, composer and multi-instrumentalist G9, whose passion for developing new sounds spews forth an unsettling creation that listeners have consistently deemed "scary and beautiful." Taming the mechanical beast is vocalist and lyricist NiNi, whose operatic flourishes and jazz-infused leads extend a hand of enchanting guidance through Corvo's dark imagery.

Born in part from a passion for cinema, Corvo's songs often instinctively evolve in "three acts," similar to the conventions of film. Along with pioneering musicians like Trent Reznor , Claudio Simonetti and Rammstein , Corvo considers filmmakers like Mario Bava , Dario Argento and Werner Herzog of equal importance, influence and inspiration to their compositions and lyrics. This cinematic flair has not gone unnoticed among the horror community, and has lately drawn the attention of independent filmmakers and production companies.

Corvo is currently in the studio working on their debut full-length album Telltale, which will be released by their independent label, Telltale Music. In 2006, the band released a demo EP, Terroreyes: The Demos, which contained four Telltale tracks in their infant stages, and in early 2008, a body of work called Instrumental Cuts. This most recent collection of instrumental singles contains twelve new tracks that continue to explore macabre art and horror through cinematic soundscapes. Many of those instrumental tracks are available at Corvo's music blog, The Chamber Door , for streaming and download under a Creative Commons Non-Commercial Attribution License.
