Nova Darkness is a Melodic Death Metal solo project created by Chilean composer and producer Rodrigo Poblete in 2019.

The essence of Nova Darkness lies in melodic death metal, death metal with melodic elements and complex harmonies. This musical approach is enriched by notable influences from power metal and neoclassical metal, resulting in a unique amalgamation of sounds that resonates with diversity and innovation. Nova Darkness is influenced by bands such as In Flames, Children of Bodom, Norhter as well as Japanese bands such as Galneryus, Versailles, Jupiter and Far East Dizain.

History
After several attempts to form a band in 2013 with his friend Juan Aravena, drummer of the metal scene in the region of Antofagasta, which would be called Shadows Ahead with influences of In Flames and Soilwork, for reasons of change of geographical area, these attempts to form a group were frozen, but under this band would publish two demos, one called Falling Down and another that later would be renamed as Going Nowhere appearing later in the first release of Nova Darkness.

After the split Rodrigo would concentrate on composing a Power Metal project with Japanese influences, between 2016 and 2018, called Nova Chronicle, a name taken from the concept Fabula Nova Crystallis from the Final Fantasy saga and the other from the Chain Chronicle series. Realizing that many of the songs he composed had a "dark" sound, he began to separate them and label them as Nova Chronicle (dark) songs calling and grouping them as Nova Darkness. Unable to find a vocalist for this power metal project, he realized that he had accumulated enough compositions labeled as such, and set about the task of finishing them and creating a project entirely by himself.

2019 - 2021
All the course of the Year 2019 was recorded, finished, to then be published on November 19 of that same year, the first work entitled Of Doom and Grief, but after the country would go through a crisis and later the pandemic, would cause the cessation of activities of the project. then in 2021 would release a new single that has by title Odio y Rencor song that would have been left out of the first album. In this period he would begin to compose new songs looking to overcome the first and find new challenges, in 2022 he would meet the guitarist Alexander Aros who invites him to be part of the project as a permanent support guitarist for future concerts that could be presented.

2023 - 2024
Already with Alexander as a permanent member, the work of composing and finalizing the second release called Nigredo Tenebrae, a title strongly influenced by the psychoanalyst Carl Jung, this new release already contemplates a more refined level in terms of interpretation, composition and production, it is a question of leaving behind the more western sound to give way to a sound with Japanese dyes and a greater presence of orchestral elements, it is a darker album in all senses but at the same time more directed to try new things like the cyberpounk style in the song Light of revolution or to a less "At the Gate" style and rather hard rock of the 80's like Fate's Cruel Design.
