We like to play power metal, often with
stress on speed, sometimes with a 'symphonic' touch.
The history
of our winged dragon (a WYVERN is such a fantasy
animal, for those of you who don't know it yet) starts back in the cold
winter
of 1985,
in
a lonesome rehearsal room somewhere in the fogs of northern Italy, full
packed
with Heavy Metal posters and pictures.
In the first years we recorded
two demo tapes, the former just called
"WYVERN 1987" and
sporting some strong NWOBHM influences, the
latter called "Back To The Ancient Rage" already showing the first
seeds of speed. After a while we managed to release our first album (it
wasn't
time for Cd's yet!), "The Red Flame Of Pain", featuring seven tracks
of melodic speed metal with a light techno-power edge. 20 years later,
we still
play the epic "WYVERN" anthem
live! The last copies of the
album are still being seen at record fairs at quite high prices.
Between 1990 and 1993 we were
able to play quite regularly in Italy
and in 1994 we got back with a new tape, called "Season Of Power" and
a live video, shot during the following tour, and featuring a mix of
new and
classic tracks of WYVERN.
"Ice Guardian", from that tape, was featured
in two
different compilation Cd's of unsigned Italian bands, "Underground
Symphony" and "Electric Minstrels". During 1996 we started
working on some new songs, three of
them made their way to "The
Other One" the
promo tape .
In 1998 we
released the tape "The rage of silence" with live
and rare recording .
From 1998
and 2002 we recorded our new cd called "LORDS OF
WINTER"
In the
summer of 2002 the Greek label UNISOUND released a cd with the
first and the second '80 demos ,that cd called " Back to the
ancient
rage"
At the end
of 2003 we released, as mp3.com cd, a compilation : "WYVERN
Compilation 1989-1999" During
2006 we recorded a special version of an
Adramelch song "Eyes of alabaster" and a new version of our
song "Lonely in the street " and now we start to compose our
new cd with the new LINEUP . The song “Lonely in the
street” appears on
BlowerRecords cd called “Forged in Metal”
In 2010 WE released a remastered cd version of " The Red
Flame of pain "
by JollyRoger Records.
