____________________________________________________________ _

Vurtula metal band was born near Ivrea (Turin – Italy) in summer 2001; ever since the project has been oriented towards a powerful and affected kind of music that would opt for strong emotions and sensations sharing with the listeners, trying not to fall in forgone solutions.
In 2003 Vurtula recoded in their studios their first album "S.T.R.U. Mentale" an instrumental progressive metal concept album composed imagining to take a fantastic journey aboard a flying carpet watching the world from. In that period Vurtula started composing musics for alternative films but very soon they abandoned the idea and started their live career as an instrumental trio.
With "Above all" self recorded in 2004 promo album, Vurtula added the voice to their compositions reaching new energy and melody solutions.
Since 2004, while some new line up changes occurred, Vurtula have performed many lives in prestigious metal/rock festivals, in nice places and playing with most famous italian metal bands, so in winter 2006/2007 the band self-produced their third metal work "Infernal fate". Then some songs from this album started to become popular also thanks to some young film directors who used Vurtula's music as soundtracks or ending theme on their movies.
Today the well-established line up, that now is shaped around five very competent musicians, is facing progressive power metal sonorities which combine compact rhythms and nice melodies with graceful balance. Nearly all the lyrics are in English and they speak above all about introspective thematics.
Vurtula’s lives are full of energy performances that induce the people all around to be involved without compromises: they’re really a sincere manifestation of positive force.
Waiting for you all to the next live date, Vurtula would like to thank you with a great metal greeting!!!
