Skylark is an incredible story of a metal band which reached unexpected results, writing a page destined to remain unique in the history of music. Starting as a cult/underground band in 1994 and built on the power symphonic compositions written and arranged by Eddy Antonini and Roberto “Brodo” Potenti, Skylark has never had the chance to enter the major world distribution, meeting the skepticism of the most important media and record companies. In spite of this, the band year by year has conquered a growing number of fans, scored amazing and incredible goals such as the sellings result, around 140.000 copies sold , and a series of powerful concerts all around the world sharing the stage with bands such as Royal Hunt, Running Wild, Edguy, Virgin Steel, Nightwish and Dream Theater. No other underground band can show such a kind of achievements. The place where Skylark music reached the top is for sure the Far East, especially China, where in 2008 they performed the longest tour for a foreign band in the Chinese history, and Japan where the band had the chance to perform in three wonderful live tours between 2003 and 2005, getting two sold outs in Shinjuku Loft and Shibuya Cyclone, nice gigs in Club Quattro (Osaka and Tokyo) besides a show in the famous, crowdy and excited Club Chitta in Kawasaki.
The record “Divine Gates part 3: The Last Gate” allowed the band to get its first deal in the US (first Italian power metal band printed there) and, above all, to reach the 3rd position in the HMV Rock and Pop Japanese Charts, 7th Overall, selling more than 25.000 copies worldwide despite the dramatic downtrend of the music industry.
In May 2009 the band will publish its first DVD “Divine Gates part 4: The Live Gate”, featuring the live show faithfully recorded and filmed in Phoenix- Arizona on May 2008.

Skylark has frequently toured both in Russia and abroad, being one of the most renowned Russian world music artists. They typically play at smaller venues or at various folk and ethno festivals. Albums: Celtic Flame (2003)Reipas Tuuli (Racing The Wind) (2003)A Roving I Will Go (2005)Aurinko Vedellä (Sun On The Water) (2006)
