What has become Via Noctis was started in late 2002. Davus Ware, having
been in a alternative rock band for some time decided he needed to form
a heavier act, truer to his inspirations. After jamming with another
guitarist he met at work, they decided to hunt down a bassist. Through
a chance encounter, Davus met Gary Berg. After a brief audition, Gary
was added on bass. They focused on writing grunge rock mixed with
thrash and hardcore metal. After a few months of on-again-off-again
practicing, Davus came up with the idea to part with the rhythm
guitarist and form a heavier band. He called up his old friend Josh
Beavers to come audition. Gary embraced the heavier aspect immediately.
Now writing songs based around the old school thrash they grew up on,
the band started to take shape. Davus and Gary then put up flyers
advertising for a drummer and singer. The first to answer the call was
a singer.



Jared Konkle impressed both of them with his amazing ability to
scream his way through Davus' guitar riffs. With no drummer on board,
the band focused on writing material. Not happy with the mainstream
metal scene, they took their own path by writing thrashy old-school
guitar metal. They dubbed it "Bouncy" Metal. With odd time signatures
and slashing guitar riffs they knew they had something unique that
would stand out from the Hatebreed clones.



Thor was discovered by hitting up the local drum instructor. When
asked who he recommended for a drummer, he threw out one name: Thor.
Thor came over that day to audition. 5 minutes of pounding the skins
the way only a god can, Davus and Gary gladly welcomed him aboard. The
band, still dubbed Incursion at the time was finally complete. After a
few months of writing and a few set-backs with schedule conflicts, not
meeting goals, the band was finally ready to play out.



In 2005, after a name change to Via Noctis, the band recorded thier
first 5 song CD, called Enslave the Weak. After a show thier first show
at Ryan's Bar, they played The Main Stage in Green Bay and tore the
house down. The band then began writing new material and playing
throughout the Fox Valley and Green Bay Area.



Currently the band is preparing to release their first full-length
CD, Inspire A Nightmare. After a short break, the band is now back
writing material for the next CD, and is hitting the music scene with a
vengeance. Looking to break out of the Fox Valley area, the first show
booked was down by Madison, and the band continues to look for
oppourtunities to walk the path of night through any city they can.
