After founding now established Slovak death metal band NOMENMORTIS in 1993 Ivos moves to Zlín, Czech Republic. He starts looking for new bandmates and in 1995 he meets guitarist Mira and a drummer who is later kicked out for not showing up for recording. Since then the band has used and skillfully developed the sound of automatic drums later accompanied also by keyboards. In spring 1999 the newly recruited singer Martin brings the band name DRACO HYPNALIS.
The line-up record their first demo in April 2000. The tape “Nobleness Of The Storm-Gatherer” is released as a split with techno-death ROMANTIC LOVE. First shows follow including successful appearance at the Nuclear Storm festival. The recording is also highly praised in underground music press as well as major Czech music magazines.
In April 2001 the band prepares a 4-track promo and plays live heavily, including another big festival Brutal Assault. By 2002 the band spreads more than 1000 copies of their tape and promo recordings, yet do not find a suitable record label to support their new material. The singer Martin leaves the band replaced by Lukás – formerly a drummer with ROMANTIC LOVE.
In October 2002 the trio records songs for their first album „Weavers of Unrest“. Originally to be released by Italian Pulsar Light Rec. it is eventually released as late as 2005 by Czech Élysion Music.
In the meantime the band present their material live, also abroad, e.g. at Polish Merciless East Fest. In autumn 2004 the band hit the road on Euro tour with Latvian NEGLECTED FIELDS.
Upon the release of the album the band continues playing live, including a festival and minitour in Poland again and on Czech-Slovak ”Mortal Storms Of Autumn Tour” with Slovak OBLITERATE and MIZAR. The last mentioned tour features the appearance of guest singer Petr (ex-INFANTICIDE), who later becomes a regular band member. During the composing process in 2006 he also takes up guitar, which means DRACO HYPNALIS now perform with two guitars.
In the end of spring 2007 the band leaves for the studio – namely LGM Studio of SCENERY mastermind Lerry. The release is agreed upon with Zero Budget Productions. The second DRACO HYPNALIS CD entitled „Imagination“ is officially released on 11.9.2007.
Besides the regular version on CD, the band also offers the instrumental keyboard-only version of the album "Orchestral Imagination". Available on CDr (with cover) directly from the band.
