DESCRIPTION:
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. Vortices sound is thick, low, heavy and complex.
Vortice entered the studio for first time on January 2006 to record three songs for a promotion and and took advantage of this opportunity to improve their sound for their full length debut album. This recording session was produced by Iban Puigel (The Unfinished Sympathy ) at the Fundicio Musical del Barri in Hospitalet del Llobregat (Barcelona). Iban, former member of Vortice, understood perfectly the band sound producing an amazing result.
Vortice has played live around Spain in cities like Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Ubeda, Bilbao, or Donosti and continues to do so. They have played with well-known bands like Red Sparowes , Cult of Luna, Unsane, Maroon, Naerah, Moho, Moksha, Adrift, and played in the 2008 edition of the ESTRELLA DAMM PRIMAVERA SOUND Festival in Barcelona (one of the most important indie music festivals around the world) with bands like Portishead, Public Enemy, DEVO, Explosions in the sky, Boris, OM, Moho ..
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, Marduk, Nasum, Nine,...). The record was released by the Madrid label Holy Cobra Society Records on January 2008 and distributed by PIAS / A NEW LABEL. 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, Arto! and Rock Estatal. 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. Also the band obtained endorsements from Jagermeister and Fakie Clothing. Pere Sanchez and Llorenç Puig obtained personal endorsements from ESP guitars and SONOR drums respectively.
