[edit] History

Solemn Novena formed in early 2006 and are from Belfast, Northern Ireland. The bands line-up consists of members Louise Crane on vocals, Marc McCourt on guitar/ vocals, and Stuart Harland on bass.

The bands main aim was to bring the musical genre of gothic rock into the 21st Century using haunting keyboards and vocals, 12-string guitars with lots of reverb and loud, pounding bass guitar.

Their sound is quite similar to that of other gothic rock bands such as Rosetta Stone and The Mission.

The bands 5 track EP 'As Darkness Falls' was released on the 20th December 2006 at a release party @ Necrodanse (Lavery's, Belfast)

Solemn Novena featured as 'Best Unsigned Band' in Gothic Magazine (March 2007) and appeared on journalist Mick Mercer's list of 'Top 30 Goth Singles'.
