BIOGRAPHY
The
MANDRAGORA SCREAM project - dark-gothic-rock band - takes shape in 1997
from an idea of the band’s lead singer MORGAN LACROIX. In 1999 Morgan
cuts a demo CD with four tracks, titled "PromoTrack99" at the NEW SIN
studios in Italy.
In

Horn. The result of this magical artistic union is the debut album
"FAIRY TALES FROM HELL'S CAVES", Published in 2001 by German independent
label NUCLEAR BLAST/CAPIRANHA RECORDS .
Fairy
Tales is definitely a concept album: a trip throughout the Dantean
Hell, tormented by passion, anguish and insanity, where the character of
Virgil is surprisingly replaced by an unusual bewitching vampire fairy.
In 2002 MANDRAGORA SCREAM release their second album "A Whisper of
Dew", by NUCLEAR BLAST . Once again a concept album, centered on the
enthralling vampire story purposely written for the band by Julio Angel
Olivares Merino, horror-gothic literature writer and “ English
Philosophy ” Teacher at the Spanish “UNIVERSIDAD DE JAEN”.
Drawing
inspiration from this tale, Morgan has composed the entire album
lyrics. In January 2010 the band is On Tour for 30 Dates with Christian

appraisal words from the critics, winning the consent of the greatest
