Danava, hailing from Portland, Oregon, is a band steeped in the heavy psychedelic and progressive soundscapes that hearken back to the 1970s hard rock and proto-metal scenes. Founded in the early 2000s by singer and guitarist Gregory Meleney, Danava's style is characterized by riff-driven songs, kinetic drumming, and sprawling compositions that are as intricate as they are robust.

Their self-titled debut, "Danava," introduced them to the music world as purveyors of complex, yet accessible rock music. This release was followed by "UnonoU," an album that continued to solidify their reputation for crafting expansive auditory journeys. "Hemisphere of Shadows" pushed their envelope further, cementing their place among contemporaries as a force of musical creativity and heavy psychedelia. With subsequent releases such as "The Illusion Crawls / Demon Lady / Get You Some," and their most recent singles "At Midnight You Die," "Let The Good Times Kill," "Enchanted Villain," and "Nothing But Nothing," Danava has maintained a consistent output of music that pays homage to the past while remaining distinctly fresh and contemporary. The constant evolution of their sound and the belief in pushing their musical boundaries make Danava a significant entity in the world of heavy rock and psychedelic music.
