About Corvo
A strong European aesthetic combined with a passion for Gothic imagery, art and storytelling led Corvo to adopt the raven as their dark totem. Their name is derived from the Italian word for raven or crow.
Drawing from a diverse range of influences such as female-fronted metal [THE GATHERING, LACUNA COIL], progressive rock [GOBLIN, ROXY MUSIC], new wave [THE CURE, SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES], underground dance and industrial [SKINNY PUPPY, NINE INCH NAILS] and pioneering electronic composers [VANGELIS, TANGERINE DREAM], Corvo integrates and fuses these styles with operatic flourishes in a traditional rock context.
Described as "so scary it's beautiful," and "sexy as hell," Corvo's signature sound is a macabre mix of heavy guitars, aggressive, avant-garde electronics, horror-inspired, cinematic soundscapes and passionate female vocals.
Corvo’s debut full-length album Telltale will be released this year by their label, Telltale Music. The first single, "Vin Mariani" is now available for streaming here at "HookaVille," and at MySpace.com, VampireFreaks.com, LastFM and PureVolume.com!
After a very positive reception to Corvo’s 2006 demo release, Terroreyes: The Demos, the autographed CDs have sold out on CDBaby.com. Since it was meant to be a limited release, the CDs will not be re-stocked. SonicCathedral.com still has a few autographed copies in stock, and the tracks will always be available on iTunes and eMusic.com.
