The history of the band has begun in 2004, in Moscow. At that time Alexey Orlov and Maxim Migachev played in the band, named Concordia. Approximately in the summer of the same year they had an idea about their own project because they had a desire to play heavier and vigorous music for a long time, and they also had some material which was not possible to realize in Concordia. Somehow time, in November, 2004 Alexey Orlov during ICQ dialogue with Dmitry Bukashin (which then took a great interest in shootings on video of domestic heavy groups in clubs) has mentioned that some material has accumulated and has shown it Dmitry. Having heard to it, Dmitry Bukashin has unconditionally agreed to join the band as the bass player. There was a business for small: to find the vocalist and the second guitarist.
Meanwhile February, 2005 has come. There was more difficultly to be in Concordia for Alexey and Maxim, because they had no time to be occupied with their own project, and as it was not regrettable for that moment, their own material interested them more. Not looking at high quality from the musical point of view, material of Concordia was not that Alexey and Maxim wished to play. And after Demo recording, having conferred with guys from Concordia, they decided to leave the band to create their own material at last.
In the end of February, 2005 with the strengthened rates had been renewed searches of the second guitarist and the vocalist. Dmitry Bukashin and Maxim Migachev in the days and at the nights ploughed open spaces of the Internet in searches of missing musicians. Separately it would be desirable to tell how the guitarist has been found. Dmitry, having despaired to find someone at musical forums, has entered keywords “metal” and “guitar” in ICQ search and, having push with the mouse button at random on one of contacts and has written the message « Let's play SMDM? » So the guitarist, Alexander Kazarin, played earlier in band, named Piligrim and unique from everything having music education, has joined the band. With his arrival working off of a material became more productive. There were generated the instrumental staff of the band at last and the strengthened rehearsals have begun. After couple of weeks had passed, vocalist Daniel Avaev have invited in group by Maxim and Dmitry after listening his Demo on the Internet. So, at the moment of the first of March, 2005 the band staff was: Daniel Avaev - vocals, Alexey Orlov - guitars, Alexander Kazarin - guitars, Dmitry Bukashin - bass, Maxim Migachev - drums.

Under Dmitry Bukashin's offer it has been decided to name the band Fragile Nova. Having prepared the concert program for a month, the band successfully enough played at two festivals spent by Corporation of Monsters, in Moscow club Relax: on April, 9th, 2005 and on May, 21st, 2005. The recording of Fragile Nova's Demo has been appointed to the end of July, but the band was left by Dmitry Bukashin. And again searches of musicians… In September Oleg Syomin, the bass player of Neon Guide has joined Fragile Nova.

In the spring of 2007 the recording of the debut album has begun. In paralell the tension between members is growing and Danila Avaev and Oleg Semin leave the group. The rest members have made a decision to continue recording of the album on their own. First of all they decided to rewrite lyrics. The group applied to Val Brewer from Rest In Pain who has perefectly solved this problem. Fragile Nova is very gratefull to him. During the recording session Fragile Nova forms there own style, brings corrections in the music. Their material has become more melodious, elements of clean vocals and keybords have appeared. Bass was recorded by Alexey and vocals were recorded by Aleksandr. After that he became constant vocalist (and guitarist) of the group.

In autumn the material for album is recorded and negotiations about mixing are carried on. Bassist Ilya Afanasiev joins the group and Fragile Nova starts preparing concert programm.But during rehearsals was found out that Maxim Migachev is not techncally ready for learning new material and he makes up decision to leave the group. Leonid Chernitsky from Slaughter 2017 the old friend of the group gives his agreement to become a constant drummer of Fragile Nova. Rehearsals are started again. In November Fragile Nova gives an opportunity to familiarize with the new material by putting on the web site the new Demo called “Beyond” which consists of four songs from debut album.
