==Biography==
Civilization One was launched in 2006 by singer [[Chitral Somapala]] ([[Red Circuit]], Ex-Avalon, Ex- [[Firewind]] and Faro)<ref name="daily" /> together with guitarist Aldo Lanobile (Secret Sphere), Pierre-Emmanuel Pélisson (Maladaptive, Ex- [[Heavenly]])<ref name="daily" /> and Luca Cartasegna (Secret Sphere). Their intention was to found a band which combines hard and aggressive riffs and the sensitivity of classical music combined with memorable vocals and choruses as achieved by the classical Heavy Metal bands.

The debut- album ''Revolution Rising'' has been recorded in studios in France, Italy and Germany and has been mixed and mastered by Markus Teske ([[Vanden Plas]], [[Mob Rules]], [[Dominici]], [[Symphony X]] and [[Red Circuit]]).<ref name="blab" />

Because the vast distances and other obstacles between the original band members made it impossible to play live. By the end of 2007 the line up of Civilization One began to change. Only two of the original members Chity and bassplayer Pierre-Emmanuel Pelisson (Maladaptive, Ex-Heavenly) stayed and guitarist Christian Muenzer ([[Majesty]], Ex-Necrophagist) joined the band as the lead guitarist.<ref name="daily" /> He was followed by Boern Daigger (Majesty, R:I:P) as the second guitarist.<ref name="daily" /> It took slightly longer to find a drummer. Beginning of 2008 Holly Rodammer (Ex- Ancient Ceremony, Ex-Hellmasters) was announced as the new drummer.<ref name="daily">{{cite web|url=http://www.dailynews.lk/2008/07/05/fea15.asp|title=Calling the gods|last=Weerasinghe|first=Chamikara|date=5 July 2008|work=Daily News|accessdate=17 November 2009|location=Sri Lanka}}</ref>
During the process of the changes in the line-up the band got the attention of the presenters and the first bookings for the first festivals in 2008 were placed due to the overwhelming response of the media regarding the PogPower UK Pre-Party 2007.

In November 2008 and October 2009 Civilization One followed the invitation of TNL (the biggest Radio station for Rock Music in Sri Lanka), and performed as the main act at the “TNL Onstage Finals” show in [[Colombo]]. This is an absolute novelty, never before had a Western [[Heavy metal music|Heavy Metal]] band performed in [[Sri Lanka]].<ref name="blab" />

Due to several reasons the band line-up changed again in 2009. Guitarists Nicklaus Bergen and Oliver Marmann and drummer Michael Stein are replacing the previous musicians. The band has finished recording its second album, ''Calling the Gods''.<ref name="blab">{{cite web|url=http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.Net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=126097|title=Civilization One New Album To Feature Guest Appearance By Helloween Guitarist |date=29 August 2009|publisher=[[Blabbermouth.net]]|accessdate=17 November 2009}}</ref>
