Biografia:
The band Drakkar began their quest in September 1990 in Miratejo,Portugal.
At that time the band usually got together in a garage where they started to create some music in the basis of heavy metal since those were the main influences of the band..s founding members: Nelson Silva (Guitar), Paulo Almeida (Bass), and Pedro Arroja (Vocals).
After some time the band..s first alignment was completed with Nino Brancal (Guitar) and Pedro Pinto (Drums). Drakkar had their very first concert at Alfeite Gymnasium, 1st of February 1992. From that time onwards the band participated in many other concerts and music contests, where two prominent 1st places were obtained.
Along with this musical activity the band alignment went trough several alterations, where the contributions of some musicians such as, Carlos Ferreira, Carlos Rodrigues e Paulo Gabriel (Drums), Miguel Arroja, Hugo Lopes and Hugo Fernandes (Guitar), Carlos Santos (Bass) must be enhanced. Meanwhile some demo tapes were recorded only for internal consuming (friends, family and some local radios). After many great battles regarding band..s alignment Drakkar are in present with the following members: Nelson Silva (Lead Guitar), Pedro Arroja (Lead Vocals), Orlando Mestre (Drums) and Sergio Rosa (Bass and Backing Vocals). With this alignment Drakkar are presently attending some live concerts, also the band is preparing a gig for its 17th anniversary, but most important, the band is recording a CD which will be a mixture of classical Drakkar songs with recent material.
This will be the first Drakkar CD to have total distribution/commercialization. Finally the band would like to emphasize that Drakkar is a Heavy Metal band trying to play a simple heavy metal style with a strong melodic component and especially with a lot of feeling. AND THE DRAKKAR WILL GO ON !!!
