Bal Onirique is a Portuguese goth-rock band founded in Porto, in the year of 2005, by P.A. (vocals), David T.R. (guitars) and Francisco (bass), to which later joined the project Al berto (drums) and Jorge O. (guitars).
Ever since that moment, and quoting the band themselves, Bal Onirique have been journeying: "between the sacred and the profane, in a fragmented mixture of hate, passion, eroticism, insanity, love and death, influenced by moments and reflections painted here and there with a symbolic fin de siècle palette and oriental reminiscences."
In 2006, they edit the demo tape "Nadja Surround", containing the first four original songs, and in the following year the CD single: "Jádis et Naguère", the band's first recorded track, is released.
Much later in 2012, a special 7" vinyl edition limited to 200 copies is launched to the World, including two songs recorded earlier, one of which is the one presented bellow: "Elixir Rubeus", and the other: "Morrer... Dormir... Sonhar... Amar... Talvez!!!"
More recently, Bal Onirique had great pleasure to be the opening act for the Fields of the Nephilim show at Hard Club Porto, back in March 2018, eight years after the Goth giants stepped Portuguese territory, a ceremony which the band will never forget.
The current line-up of Bal Onirique still includes the original members P.A, David T.R, Jorge O. (now on bass), and Al berto, being João R.S. (keyboards), the only non-original member nowadays.
