Korvus was founded in early 2004 by Sam Korvus as a solo project, and was later joined by Adam Pravus (bass) and Sam Curtis (drums) in Autumn 2004, to record an extremely raw and satanic demo tape called 'Dark Desires' using a 4-track portastudio, which was distributed locally to build up a small fanbase. After a few months of writing and rehearsing, a second demo CD was recorded in February 2005 called the 'The Kingdom Of The Raven', and the following few months were spent playing in local venues.

In summer 2005, Korvus began working with SixSixSix Records, appearing in the November issue of Metal Hammer, and supporting Theatres des Vampires and Draconian Order on their UK tour in October and November, including their gig at The Underworld which is regularly shown on 'Redemption TV'. This was followed by playing various gigs and heavily promoting Korvus in preparation for a debut album, appearing in magazines such as 'Terrorizer' and 'Devolution Magazine'.

In Autumn 2006 it was decided that Korvus would continue as a solo project as originally intended, but with session members for live performances. Korvus then began recording the debut album 'In The Name Of Lucifer', which was later to be released on Korvus Productions.

The recording of 'In The Name Of Lucifer' was completed in March 2007, and officially released on September 3rd through Korvus Productions, distributed by Code7 and Plastichead Distribution.

Korvus' live band have played various shows with bands such as Dark Funeral, Napalm Death, Akercocke, Endstille, Hecate Enthroned, Gallhammer, Abgott, Artisian and many more, and are currently booking shows for spring 2008.
