About Me


We all met years before - and as you'll guess it was Heavy Metal that put us together. Everyone of us had taken his lessons in other bands until we decided to form an Austrian band bound to Classical True Metal in 2002. Andy B. Barna, our singer, formed a concept and together we created our first Song "Born to see the light" (which you can download on this site), a song which is still part of our live setlist and which is loved by our fans.
It was the beginning of ValSans.
In 2004 we started up with our first Demo - EP "Dawn of Metal" which was well regarded by both press and fans.
Many gigs followed for instance support slots for "Iron Savior" or "Grave Digger" in Vienna's most famous Metal location "Planet Music" as well as gigs with "Nocturnal Rites".., "Thunderstone" and "Sabaton". We've also had the chance to play outside Austria. The concerts and fans in Hungary and Slovakia were really amazing.
Forced by our ValFans we reached No.2 at one of Austria's biggest Band Contests, the "Ostrocktrophy" which lead to Airplay on "Radio Orange".
In 2005 we released the track "Sent by the Devil" as part of the international released CD "Back in time - A tribute to Rage".
Now we are looking forward to finish the recordings of our new Full - Length - CD "Sword", which will be released in spring/summer 2009.
The dawn of Metal has begun!
