Notable_instruments =Ivory Knight was a Canadian metal quartet whose sound combined elements of
power metal , thrash,progressive metal ,hard rock , anddeath metal .Ivory Knight was originally founded in 1988 by vocalist / multi-instrumentalist John Devadasan Perinbam and Paul Malek, who played drums on the Annihilator demos. The band recorded a 5-song cassette demo called "Voices in Your Nightmare" which received excellent reviews from all over the world. Despite this early success, the band broke up in 1990 due to musical differences.
Perinbam reformed Ivory Knight in late 1999 with drummer George Nesrallah, bassist Steve Mercer, and guitarist
Rob Gravelle .The band has shared the stage with many acts including Sword,
Blackstar (featuring John Ricci and Jacques Belanger of Exciter), and more recentlySonata Arctica . In 2004 the band was to open for the metal band W.A.S.P., but the headliners cancelled at soundcheck due to security concerns.In 2001, the band released a self-produced full-length CD called "Up from the Ashes". In 2005 Ivory Knight released "Unconscience". The album was mixed and mastered by Annihilator mastermind
Jeff Waters . Gyula Havancsak, also known for his work on Annihilator's "All For You" album, created the CD artwork and layout.External links
