Biography
Nightqueen
was founded at the end of 2004. Songwriter and guitarist Rex Zeco wanted
to break the illusion that heavy metal is only popular in metalminded
quarters; he wanted to compose a kind of metal for everyone. The formula
was simple ... strong guitarriffs in 80’s style, upgraded with the
modern metalbeats and a melodic songmelody with catchy tunes that stay
in the music fan ’s head for a long time. Rex had the help of Hi-Dee,
who assisted him with writing the right lyrics: well- considered lyrics
about love, understanding and social abuses; interweaved with mystic and
fantasy. The first song they wrote was “Queen of the Night”. And that
title sounded good for a band name as well, thus, ‘Nightqueen’ was born.
The band name has a double meaning : first of all the queen of the night;
the never ending story of a simple housewife – sick and tired of the
daily toil - who is transforming into the mistress of metal. Secondly,
‘Nightqueen’ is a given name for a big bat. That’s why the band chose
for a bat as their symbol. Most of the lyrics also take place overnight;
something that is very typical for Nightqueen. The first years were a
real hell. Musicians came and left. It was very hard to find musicians
with the right professional spirit to let the project succeed. The band
reformed 3 times before the right line-up was found: 6 talented
musicians who all have the same goal ... : to bring Nightqueen as far as
possible in the musicworld. Fantasy ? My ass !!! And now the
Nightqueenstory will start by unleashing our thunder to the crowd. Hail
to our Majesty, the queen and her knights !!!
