TVANGESTE's actual birth date in 1997 when all musicians gathered in one place and started rehearsals. So many things have changed since that times…Our first CD "Damnation Of Regiomontum" was recorded in the end of 1999 and brought us a great success. TVANGESTE was chosen as "the best Black Metal acts in ex-USSR countries of 2000". Over 5000 CDs of this album were sold in CIS countries. In 2001, TVANGESTE have signed a contract with norwegian label Valgalder Records for two albums. Valgalder re-released "Damnation Of Regiomontum" for worldwide. For TVANGESTE it was a great step into the future. There were tons of great reviews, album was played on many radio stations from all over the world. Valgalder did a great work for TVANGESTE's promotion. The greatest magazines of Europe, South and North Americas and Asia interviewed band. Mexican bought licensing on "Damnation Of Regiomontum" and Indonesian labels. In June 2001, well-known British magazine Live For Metal gave a "Band of the Month" award to TVANGESTE. In the March of 2001, Naturelle (Miron's wife) joined the band as a keyboardist. Later her excellent abilities brought a great part of new, fresh melodies to the TVANGESTE's sound.
In the beginning of 2001 Miron and Naturelle began the new album creation. It was a horrible long work...months of laborious work. They decided to create not just a "Damnation Of Regiomontum" sequel but something more professional, much powerful, really interesting, fresh and new. Baltic Symphony Orchestra was hired for this recording. It was amazing work with the professional people. Naturelle and Katya (first violin in the orchestra) created all scores for each instrument. 300 sheets of notes! Also Prussian Chamber Choir took a part in the recording session. With their greatest help TVANGESTE got a lot of dramatic vocal moments in the songs. It was the first experience for TVANGESTE to work with professional musicians and this collaboration helped TVANGESTE to find their unique style of playing Metal music.
In December 2002, TVANGESTE have signed a contract with World Chaos for "FireStorm" release. At last! Septhember the 1st - Album's out!. So long awaited release date! There are two versions of "FireStorm" available now: usual jewel case CD and limited edition of Digipacks (with absolutely different design and TVANGESTE symbol sticker). Album is available in many music stores on all continents.
After only one month from the release date "FireStorm" got the top places in different Metal charts from all over the world's Metal magazines and radios! Sales are going just great! Restocked three times on Red Stream and FOUR TIMES on another North American Metal monster Dark Symphonies!
Many world's Metal magazines have recognized TVANGSTE's "FireStorm" as "one of the best Metal creations ever that will remain in world's Metal history for ages" !!!! Critics that "FireStorm" got so far are just awesome!
TVANGESTE attracted Metal Mind's (the biggest Polish Metal label) attention. Polish guys have licensed "FireStorm" for Poland and Germany. One of the biggest Russian Metal labels CD Maximum have licensed "FireStorm" for Russian Federation and CIS countries + Baltic Countries. CD will be released up to the end of October 2003. WORLD CHAOS are negotiating with Mexicans and Americans about license deals.
We are looking forward to get fresh news since it's just beginning....
