POWERS COURT DISCOGRAPHY:
The band now known as 'Powers Court', originally began with the band name, 'Equinox'. This project was founded by Danie Powers and was an all-originals metal band that performed songs penned by Danie. The original line-up consisted of Bob 'BLZBob' Blotevogel on drums, Monty York on Bass and Danie Powers singing and playing guitar. There were never any formal recordings done with this line-up. Steve Murray joined this project and the group released their first three-song demo cassette with Gunnar Swenson on drums. Five hundred copies of this independent release were distributed worldwide.

Powers Court was signed to Audioglobe SRL/Dragonheart Records, Firenze, Italy in 2000. Their 'NINE KINDS OF HELL' CD was released on that label in 2001. The CD was released in Europe as a 'digipak' version with original artwork by Giovanna Corsini. Two original oil paintings were created for the CD. The artist worked closely with Powers and Murray to create their vision of the legendary wizard, 'Faust'. The song, 'Tragedy of Faust' appears on the CD as the opening track. The 'Tragedy of Faust', 'Echoes of Silence' and 'Devil's Triangle' that were featured on the original three-song demo (Equinox) were included on this recording due to overwhelming fan requests. The CD was a concept album, the premise was nine songs representing nine different hellish experiences.

'THE RED MIST OF ENDENMORE' CD was released in 2008 on the Audioglobe SRL/Dragonheart label. This album was released in Europe as a digipak version. The CD is a concept album based upon an original story by Danie Powers about an evil landowner hailing from the mythological place she created called, 'Endenmore'. The landowner, 'Merrick', fancies the daughter of the local Village Chieftain. He uses black magick and sorcery to woo her, but things go awry after they are married because his magick is not strong enough to bind her and other arcane forces are involved that cause her to stray. A full-length companion 'novella' in paperback book format was written to go with the CD for fans. This book was professionally printed and bound and is a special 'limited edition' collector's item.
