Started in '96 with Vanan (Vox, guitar), Leon (bass), Pravin (drums) back in Singapore. Demo release never came to fruition and the band was temporarily disbanded. 2006 saw a new spirit arise with Vanan resorting to making it a solo effort with the aid of select few friends/musicians. Only recently (2008) has there been a conscious effort to realizing a dream. To be able to take what's within and bringing it forth in the form of music. This is what Naraka exemplifies.
