About Me


GENERAL INFO
It was Summer 2006 when the idea of an unconventional Death Metal Band lead Chris (ex-Bass) and Stephan (Vocals/Guitars) to found "Vortex". Then both caused Stefan (Guitars) and Andre (Drums) to join and so Vortex arosed. Our music is a big metal pot filled with ingredients of (technical) Death Metal, Folk and Progressive merged with experimental parts in connection with a mix of deep growls, stunning shouts and of course clean sung vocals. Unfortunatly the lazyness of Stefan Wolf lead us to a decision which wasn't that easy for us. Due to any lack of support nor help nor motivation we decided to take a new guitarist on board. His name is Tobias, a friend of us and plays guitar for around 2 years now. Welcome on board dude!! Well folks, another page turnes in the book of Vortex. Andre as a good friend of us is still a member of the band, but a honorary member. With Christopher Penthin now, a young very talented Metal-Drummer, we finally have the first working line-Up. So it didn't take much time for us all that he became a full member in the line-up to take place as a drummer. Let's smash some snares Chris! Doors open. Doors close. But now a Door opens, for a friend of Christoph, our Drummer, named Ronnie who will take the Vocal Part next to me, and with me.
