Ynis Vitrin

Ynis Vitrin was created in 1999 by Rondinel de Oliveira (guitars), Antonio Socol (keyboards), and Nelcidor Dall'Agnol (drums) along with another guitarist and a bass player. They rehearsed without a definitive name until "Angel’s Garden" was chosen. The band worked on their own songs, originally influenced by 80's hard rock. But as they wrote, they naturally started to compose heavier songs. As a result, in early 2000, the guitarist and bassist left the group being replaced by two new members, Benhur Vieira Lima (bass and vocals) and Jocemar Maciel (guitars) -- the line-up that remains the same today.



Under a new band name "Episode", their first demo-CD was recorded with only two songs: "Regret" and "Crossfire" which was re-recorded later and appears on the band's 2005 CD, A Dark Land. While recording this CD, the band changed its name once again -- to the current and definitive: Ynis Vitrin.



A Dark Land is composed of 11 tracks and has been called "a masterpiece" by reviewers; "produced with sensibility, for those who like heaviness and innovation.". Ynis Vitrin is trade marked by a heavy style, influenced by bands like: Blind Guardian, Dream Theater, Symphony X, Iron Maiden, and Rush, among others. A Dark Land from Ynis Vitrin was chosen by NovoMetal website as The Best Demo in 2005. The Ynis Vitrin keyboardist, Antonio Soccol, also received the same honor in this web site's listing of the best of 2005.



In 2006, Ynis Vitrin entered the sickidiots.com Tshirts and Revolver Magazine Metal Band Contest which was heavily promoted by the great American Heavy Metal Magazine, Revolver. Competing against bands from all around the world, Ynis Vitrin was voted the Grand Prize Winner by the contest's celebrity judges.



Ynis Vitrin is currently in the studio composing and recording pre-mix for their new CD which will be recorded in the Spring of 2007 both in their own studio and with producer/musician Earth at Nitro Sound Solutions.



"This demo is impressive in every aspect, great song writing, very skilful musicians, a good production for a demo CD, a good vocalist - no "signs" of a bad accent here - and some excellent guitar riffs and leads. I really hope some label picks up on this, because this is one the best demo CD's I've heard this year." - PowerMetal.dk
