Profile:  Birthday: 26/10/1986 Sign: Scorpio Idols: Ludwig Van Beethoven, The Doors Influences: Classical Music Best song ever: Frederic Chopin - Prelude Op.28 No 24 in D minor ~~~~~ Passionate with art and music, Dorian has been writing texts since the age of fourteen. Texts already reflecting a dark and passionate vision of love. ~~~~~ Autodidact, he only learns music at the age of eighteen with a craving for learning with no other equal than his will to materialize the realm of “Dark romantism”. ~~~~~ All this will lead him to read a number of books about harmony, solfege and also to practice guitar and the piano several hours a day. ~~~~~ In 2004,he founded Alucard well resolute to open the doors to the Real of Dark romantism Coming from Mons, Alucard is a quintet founded by the artist Dorian and developing a visual and musical concept called « Dark romantism ». ~~~~~ Their first album is produced by world-class producer John Fryer (Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, HIM, Cradle of Filth, ...) and illustrated by Alain Descamps, graphical artist for Franco Dragone. ~~~~~ The « Dark romantism » isn’t born by chance and literally transcribe the hidden garden of a romantic author scorched by the wounds of an impossible teenage love. ~~~~~ « Confronted to the fact that I couldn’t be with her, I started to write and unconsciously, I created a realm where we could be together. » - Dorian ~~~~~ Inspired by the Hells of Greek mythology, Christian eschatology and tarots, this realm transports us on a spiritual path leading to the flowering of the soul. A graphical and poetical universe pretending to become a piece of “Total Art” of the 21st century through several medias (Internet, music, video, pictures, promotional visuals and concerts). ~~~~~ « A piece of “Total Art” characterizes itself through the simultaneous use of several medias and artistic disciplines, and through the symbolic, philosophical or metaphysical meaning it carries. » Wikipedia ~~~~~ Since its creation, the band tours with concerts from Mons (Royal Theater) to Klub Depo in Riga Latvia, and went in Studios all over Europe (ICP Studios in Brussels / Sound Division Studio in Riga / Redroom Studios in Norway) working with known professionals like Djoum (Indochine, Superbus, ...) and John Fryer. ~~~~~ « I loved you is a great song, reminds me of Bohemian Rhapsody » - John Fryer, Riga, 2007 about the originality and musical quality of that song. ~~~~~ In order to push the perfectionism to its limits, each album will provide an original concept and will create its own realm following the previous universes. The end of the first album features a reference to the second one, now in preparation.  Instrument: Bass Birthday: 09/11/1983 Sign: Scorpio Idols: A Perfect Circle, David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails, The Doors, Ohgr, Nightwish Influences: Indus, Metal, Rock Best song ever: Nine Inch Nails - Leaving Hope ~~~~~ While learning the rudiments with his best friend, Sylvain started to play acoustic guitar at the age of fifteen. Some weeks later, they founded their first band, playing mainly covers of Rage Against The Machine. ~~~~~ Mainly for practical reasons, he entered the band as bassist but what should have only been a temporary situation, will then remain unchanged; Sylvain had found in the bass, his predilection instrument. ~~~~~ Early 2004, through the medium of a friend, he meets Ced and was the first musician to join Alucard  Instrument: Piano and Keyboards Birthday: 26/10/1981 Sign: Scorpio Idols: Bach, Mozart, Liszt Influences: Classical Music, Jazz, Rock, Metal, Electro Best song ever: Samuel Barber - Agnus Dei ~~~~~ Jonathan started with music at the age of four and is thus the most experienced musician in the band. ~~~~~ After having performed a flawless run through the music academy, he started higher musical studies in the Royal Conservatoire. ~~~~~ Not only pianist, Jonathan officiates also as organist in several churches Alucard whole team would like to wish you and everybody's close to your heart a great year 2010.
