There was an earlier melodic rock band of this name in the late 1980s and early 1990s featuring Scottish singer/guitarist Dave Kelly and famed session lead guitarist Al Perkins. They recorded for Spirit(Sparrow Records) and won Album of the Year award for 'Ark the Angels Come in 1989.

ARK was a progressive metal band resulting from the friendship and musical collaboration of guitarist Tore Østby (Conception, DC Cooper, Giant's Playground, Hypose, Redrum, Headcrash) and drummer John Macaluso (TNT, Riot, Spread Eagle, Alex Masi, Yngwie Malmsteen, Powermad), who later joined up with singer Jørn Lande to record two acclaimed albums.

Lande, Østby and Macaluso were joined by Randy Coven (Steve Vai, Steve Morse) on bass and Mats Olaussen (Yngwie Malmsteen) on keyboards for their second effort.

The self-titled debut album was released in 1999 with some fanfare. Musically, the band explored many distinct themes, with vocalist Lande proving to be an exceptional vocal acrobat. The band's follow-up (and final) album, Burn the Sun, is considered an underground progressive metal landmark. Drawing from a variety of influences, from Dream Theater to Dio to Bjork, the band utilized its previous musical relationships with temperamental guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen as a springboard for this opus. After touring to support Burn the Sun, Ark went on hiatus and eventually broke up, with Jorn Lande joining Roland Grapow and Uli Kusch in the classic power metal band Masterplan.
