VORTICE

VORTICE was born in Barcelona on January 2004. The band guidelines on a musical level differ from everything done before by its members, becoming closer to other musical styles like Extreme Metal, Post Metal or Math Metal, as well as drawing on the personal influences of each of its members. Vortice' s sound is thick, low, heavy and complex.
Between the 6th and 20th of April 2007 the band went to studio to record their debut full length album "HUMAN ENGINE". It took place at the The Room BCN Studios in Barcelona, produced by Gorka Dresbaj and mastered at the TailorMaid Studios in Sweden by Peter in de Betou (Dimmu Borgir, Enslaved, Meshuggah).

Human Engine was well received by the musical press and was considered the 4th best National record from 2008 in Rockzone magazine and 5th best metal record for Mondosonoro magazine. Also during 2008 it received rave reviews by different musical Spanish magazines like Rockzone, MondoSonoro, RockHard , RockDeluxe, Rock Estatal and VICE Magazine. As well they were interviewed on TV Spanish musical program " Loops!" in a metal special with Dave Mustaine from Megadeth. Human Engine was also reviewed by many webzines spread around the world.
Between the 18th May and 15th June of 2009, Vortice went to studio again to record their second record: " ZOMBIE" . The recording and mixing took place at The Room BCN Studios in Barcelona by Gorka Dresbaj again. This time the mastering was performed by George Marino ( Metallica, Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne) at the Sterling Sound Studios in NYC.

On July 2011 and after 7 years together and for personal reasons beyond of our control our former singer David left the band. He was replaced by Alex Misas, that also sings for the band Chaaras from Sabadell. We give him a big WELCOME! We will soon announce first show dates for next fall/winter 2011!!
