Their sound may partly be the result of a variety of elements inspired by the minimalism of certain post-punk acts and the lushness of shoegazing, but their music has frequently been labelled "dark pop".
The band consists of Fernando Honorato (vocals, bass), Jimmy Ottosson (guitar), Rebecka Johansson (keyboards) and Joakim Janthe (drums).
2013 was a busy year for Principe Valiente when they toured extensively throughout Europe and played at the WGT, the world's largest goth-music festival.
On 21 May 2013, they opened for Peter Murphy, best known as vocalist in the legendary band Bauhaus, at Debaser Medis in Stockholm.
The band collaborated with British producer Ed Buller, who mixed the singles "Take Me With You" and "She Never Returned".
