The band was born in 1998. The first demo was recorded at Studio Blu in Palermo and was called Gate Through The Past. It was highly praised by metal fanzines and Underground Symphony, a label based in Novi Ligure - during that time, the band changed its line-up as well (Syl joined as the bass-player, Federico as the solo guitar).

In April 2000, they signed a contract with Underground Symphony. Later, in November, they started the recordings of their first album A Gate Through The Past, at the Zenith Studios in Lucca. After that, the Finnvox Studios took care of the mastering in 2001.

In 2002, Holy Knights recorded two covers from Sword and Heavy Load - these covers would be part of two metal compilations. While working at their second album, Simone Campione joined as the rhythm/solo guitar, and the album turned out to be a concept album. Also, the singer and the bassist builded their own studio, Raven Studios, to take properly care of it.

Eventually, the band took a pause that lasted for 10 years, to focus on different side-projects, like Thy Majestie, Trinakrius and Crimson Wind. After that, they get back together in 2010 and decide to finish the second album, having gained more ideas and confidence about what they wanted to do. A more powerful, fast album, with wonderful orchestrations - an explosion of symphonic metal and atmosphere.

In april 2012, the album is ready to go out in Japan, under the label Rubicon Music Japan, and soon for the rest of the world as well.
