Biography:
The project SHIVAN was created by Hrive in 1996 with the aim of playing original extreme music influenced by doom nuances. Athas and Daheven were immediately part of the band. In 1997 they recorded their first demo tape "Bitter As Gall" and began to play live in a lot of shows when Yuri joined the band.
The period after the demo released was a bad moment for the band so they decided to split, but in 2000 new energies permitted-em to start again their musical path with new members (Ynis Witrin at keys) and above all with a deal with Pulsar Light Records for a debut album called "Whatever Lot's Above", recorded at Vs Studios and mastered at Temple of Noise Studios. This album was released in 2002 and worldwidely distributed. After this album the band started to compose new songs, but with a new singer, Seere. He gave to the band a new light and opened new horizons thanks also to his vocal charachteristics, surely less extreme and more various. This pushed the band to work on more atmospheric music surely closer to Gothic Metal with Dark Doom influences. The band entered the studio again to record a new promo album, "When Wishes Sicken" in Majestic Studios with Marino De Angeli. After this the band started a long sequence of live shows to promote the new work with great results of media and audience. At the same time there were new line-up changes, Daheven was replaced by Raziel, and also Ynis Witrin left the band, now the new keyboards player is Sytry. In 2007 finally their efforts was awarded by a new contract for the official release of "When Wishes Sicken" with My Kingdom Music and Shivan is ready to show their new Dark sound.
