Between dark enchantment and disillusion MARKIZE evaluate in rock/metal music with pop, sympho, electro, progressive and dark influences since the day the project of Alina Dunaevskaya and David Verbecq, was born. Their music has for purpose to be opened to everybody, modern and based on French, English and Russian personal lyrics.
After the demo-disc “Poussières de Vie”, well accepted by critics and public, participation in compilation “Contre Vents et Marées” of French Metal in 2006, their first album was recorded together with Franck Chentrier (guitar), Nicolas Thomas (lead guitar) and Gautier Blondeel, and issued on March 2007. Critics (France, Russia, USA, UK) are still fine and public is present.
After their tour in France, Belgium and Holland, particularly with Old Dead Tree, Cult of Luna, Autumn, Eths, Watcha, Markize was invited to play at the Metal Female Voices Fest in October 2008 in Wieze, that assembles every year greatest female fronted metal bands, and to take part in compilation “A world of Sirens” (USA) with the track “Another breath”.
Today, further to stock shortage and to raising demands, “Transparence”- album will be reedited with new tracks in France, and also officialy in Russia, for March 2009.
