NOVA
ART was formed by composer and vocalist Andrey 'Nova'
to perform modern intellectual heavy music inspired by art-rock,
heavy and progressive metal, with elements of alternative
and nu-metal. NOVA ART started out in 2000 in Moscow, Russia,
when the first song "Freedom of a Closed Space"
has been recorded. This song appears on "CORONACH II-Tunes
of Dusk" compilation, released in 2002 by Coronach
Records. In February 2003 NOVA ART played at InProg'2003
- annual progressive music fest in Moscow.
For the first time after total line-up change in 2003-2004,
NOVA ART participated in festival dedicated to 25th anniversary
of Moscow Rock College in June 2004. In August 2004 the
band finished recording a self-produced promo-record titled
"The Art of Nova", consisted only of few tracks.
This record gained a very good feedback from reviews in
magazines and ordinary listeners. On the 14th of November,
2004, NOVA ART's song "Freedom of a Closed Space"
(re-recorded in 2004) appeared in "Planet Prog"
radio show, broadcasted in Milwaukee, WI, USA, and over
the internet. In the beginning of 2005 the band decided
to release "The Art of Nova" officially as the
album. Some tracks were added, some remixed, and the whole
album was finally mastered at "Apocrif" studio.
On
the 7th of October, 2005, NOVA ART's debut album "The
Art of Nova" was released by Valiant Music Productions.
To support the release of debut album, NOVA ART has played
a mini-tour in October 2005. The band has played several
gigs in Russian cities of Moscow, Ryazan' and Odintsovo
along with Forgive-Me-Not, Ens Cogitans, Everlost and others.
Today NOVA ART is preparing new material and planning
to record it for the next full-length album.
