JANVS was born in 2003 as a solo project of Vinctor; after recording some advanced material, the project signs an agreement with Pagan Moon Records for the release of the debut album, at the beginning conceived as a demo, “Nigredo” (PGM-008, 2004), in a limited edition and with a special package.
In 2005 Malphas (Tronus Abyss, Offizial Propagande) as bass player and Francesco La Rosa (Ianva, Malombra, Segno del Comando) as drums player join the band whereas Vinctor keeps handling vocals and guitars.
