The story began
in Barcelona, in year 2000, when Raül Rexach and Lluc
Güell wanted to create a new band with new
influences,
speed and melodic metal-oriented. So they decided to look
for a singer, guitar player and keyboard player. Some
announcements were put in a certain street of Barcelona.
At the begining it was very hard,
only guitar players came to them and it was difficult to find
good feeling between those and
the vison of the band within the style they wanted to perform.
But the course of the band changed the day that
Marc Triginer called. He joined the band few days later as
the keyboard player. That was indeed the beginning of a new
era for Darian. At last they finally found the melodic style
they had been looking for and, with him,
new oportunities to explore the power metal universe.
After a
long while playing with good guitar players although with few
things in common, they found Roger Sobrepera for the role
of guitar hero. At the same time they contacted
a singer,
Marcel Puy, and then the band was complete (under the
name of NightStorm) but it wouldn't be for long....
For some months they were rehearsing
with this line-up and making new songs, but at the end
they agreed with Marcel to finish the relationship. They followed
their way, looking for a new singer again. Finally Erik Llerena
joined the band
as the
new singer. The band remained the same for a little
while, but a sad day they were forced to go on without Roger
because of differences in musical style and working way.
Again, it was time to search for a new guitar player.
After trying some
more skilled guitar players, Lluís Huguet knocked on
the door to stay definitively. So then
the
band
was complete
and Lluís could give the songs a
new dimension. In february 2004 Marc moved to live abroad for
seven months, but before that, the band decided to record in
a studio three of the composed songs.
When Marc came back
to Barcelona Darian could go on playing, but that situation
only lasted for two months, since then it was the time for
Raül and Lluc to take a break. Unfortunately, whereas they
were out, Lluís decided to quit the band due to a change in
his musical preferences.
In october 2005
the band started a new search for a guitar player, resulting
in the incorporation of Albert Casan. On the 21st of april
2006, their first live show was held in 'Dau' (Barcelona) together
with the
heavy
metal band Silent Scream. 2006 was a good year for Darian,
they got back to regular rehearsals and worked in new songs.
The gig
in 'Carretera 13' (Badalona) was the last one with Lluc playing
drums, since he thought that other person should replace him
whereas he could become rythm guitarist in Darian.
In may 2007 Darian
is playing live again with Sphinx in Barcelona. Stay metal!
