Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

"At the end of 2006 Oskar Villarreal (guitar) and Tonio Tejeda, met Armando "Bjorn" Thamez (bass) when Uriel Salinas (kb) wanted to reunite members for a band called Erógena. They started auditioning singers and Dulce Robles was selected from a group of excellent singers. Immediately they started composing some music and basic structures for the songs at Oskar’s home studio. By the end of March 2007, Dulce started writing lyrics for the songs, including all the ideas the band had. Erógena was left behind and Vitruvius was born. When the songs were ready to be played on stage, they started accepting invitations to play in small local festivals. Vitruvius recorded their first album during 2008 and 2009. Lucas Espinoza (keyboard) colaborated in the song 'Somewhere'."

	Sounds like the Chilean metal band Matraz at some points. Good stuff. I'll alert the PMT.
