Nova Orbis, a South American metal band, formed in Bogotá (Colombia) in 2005 by David Martinez (keyboards), Jose D. Barajas (guitar), Ana Barajas (voice), Jorge Gutierrez (Guitar), Rodolfo Caliz (Bass) and Jose F. Osorio (Drums) -- all are the original members of the band.

The music of Nova Orbis (which means "New World" in Latin) is a mix of different styles, involving the strength of metal sounds, the magic of the gothic, and the dynamism of progressive music.

An interesting note about the sound of Nova Orbis is that there is not an exclusive composer in the band, but rather the whole band participates in the process which can be heard in the variety of sounds and lyrics in their music.

In 2006, the band recorded their first demo, "Nova Orbis", in Artico Records (one of the most important recording studios for the metal scene in Colombia) which received an excellent response from both the fans and media.

Nova Orbis has promoted their work in different festivals and important live scenes not only in Bogota but in Cali with their participation in Caligothic festival in 2007. They have been played with recognized local bands as Kraken (Acoustic Tribute and Progressive Rock 2007) Tom Abella, Introspreccion and Entropia. Nova Orbis also achieved the second place in the Bogota Ciudad Rock festival and they are part of the Bogota Gothic Alliance  in wich participates 6 great metal gothic bands including Rhyme of Tears and Impromtus ad Mortem.

For the recording of their debut album, "Imago", they decided to work in another recording studio, Buena Onda Studio, and coproduce the album with Juan David Garcia, a producer that has worked with different genres of music from Jazz to Country to Rock. As a result, this album has a very interesting and fresh sound that can be noticed by the audience throughout the songs.

Imago, which was released on september, 2009, contains 10 songs that talk about fantasy and literature in addition to politics and philosophy. They wanted to include not only the original instruments from the band, but also traditional instruments from Colombia like the "tiple" and the "bandola" (that can be heard in the song "change") as well as choir arrangements on a few of their songs.
