Darkside of Innocence is a Death / black metal band from Sintra (Portugal)that started in 2005 with an original formation of; Pedro Bruno (vocals), André Reis (keys and later guitar), João Prim (guitar) and Pedro Bandeira(drums). The original idea was to play metal without any specific genre. The band got separated (still it never ended) affected by some problems but... after some months, in the year of 2006 the project got together once again and then, influenced by some types of music like symphonic, gothic, dark, melancholic, we started something new. Therefore DOI played in some gigs throughout Portugal with bands such as: DESIRE (PT), Gwydion (PT), Noctem (Spain), Ravenage (UK), The Godiva (PT), Wintermoon (PT)... This happened, after the release of an home and amateur record with 3 songs, that was only avaliable at myspace. Nowadays and with a different Line-up, Darkside of Innocence is preparing and recording the debut album entitled "Infernum Liberus EST", in order to release it in 2009.'
