The band was formed in 1987 as Dark Devils. In 1988, Dark Devils released their first demo titled "Shrinel", a combination of heavy metal and classical music – an influence that is present in their music ever since.
In 1989 with their main core lineup stabilized (Elias – Guitars, Nick Adams – Drums, Shrinel – Bass and Johnny K. – Vocals), they changed their name to Dark Nova and proceeded in making heavy metal history.
