The initial idea of VelvetSeal was formed in the summer of 2006 as a side project of Gabriella (Gabee-vocals) and Csaba (Csabee-guitars, composing), in hope of creating a slightly new approach in the female fronted metal world, beside their ongoing local band. Unfortunately, being not easy to find the right people to play with, the current lineup and the first songs were not born untill late winter 2006. That’s when David( bass) and Balázs ( Drums, percussion) joined, and VelvetSeal was soon realized to be much more then a side project, but more a potential band. The musicians were all known in Hungary for their previous works, all of them have played on several albums, either as a member or session player from the past. The band released a 4 track promotional demo early in 2007, which was very well apprecietad in the hungarian media ( Metal hammer review, where VelvetSeal was quoted to be a great, potential band to „represent†Hungary in this music scene) , and had the chance to debut on one of the major events in Hungary in the Gothic/Dark genre, the Gothica Fest 6.66, where they had the opportunity of sharing stage and playing together with bands like Deathstars, Battlelore, Mandargora Scream ( just a few to mention). The band then has spent most of 2007 writing songs and recording their first album, which has recently been finished. In the meantime thanks to their website, and their myspace site, the band’s name became more and more known amongst the fans of female fronted music, and received excellent feedback from fans all from all around the world, ranging from Mexico to Europe. With the huge symphonic arrangements, and modern synth grooves accompanied by heavy, modern riffs, and softened by the clean beautiful vocals of Gabee makes their music a unique blend of gothic and dark metal, that will hopefully soon be welcomed by the fans around the world. Their 9-track debut album, „Lend me your wings†has recently been finished, and the band in 2008 will concentrate on promoting their music whereever possible in Europe, and will do their best to be present in the major festivals, in order to establish a strong fan-base. And at the same time will start composing/writing the songs for the coming album .
