About Me


"I did not die and still I did not live.
Think for yourself — should you possess the talent —
What I became, robbed of both life and death!"-
Canto XXXIV, verse 25


In the loudest of nights going down a swamp of decadence the four heroes (or are they antiheroes? probably both) crossed roads on a high speeding automobile feeling the power of Jack Daniels in each and of their throats, scaring everyone who crossed their path and drinking heavily in front of the authorities, in middle of the decadence that had become of the Sin City of Bogotá, Colombia...
But that was just a regular night for Dante.The band of scoundrels, misfits, and antiheroes/heroes of this tale.
Powered up with heavy dozes of Guns and Roses, Velvet Revolver,Motley Crue, The Strokes,QUEEN, and HIM, the four members of a so called “band of brothers” (they’ve known each other since they where worms)never really tried to follow the “rock n roll life”. It seemed part of their nature already. Having lived and still living (surprisingly) on the edge literally by having survived car crashes, traitors, music scholars, hookers, fights, alcohol and basically everything that makes up the word “street” they decided to walk the path of “the divine comedy” that their lives had become and turn it into the ultimate form of proof they had reached every height and low and every duality in life and transcended it: a band.
Armed with huge riffs, heavy drumming, a mixture of lights and shadows in the melodies, an imagery that wasn’t planned but came from within, Dante is probably one of the few bands that’s keeping it real in rock n roll right now. Oh they aren’t off to save anyone, or any movement. They’re just being themselves and whom ever likes it can join a them, whom ever doesn’t can kiss their asses.
With Draco Londonn the 24/7 party goer, Tank! The incredible man/beast, Alexx Grimm a blues man trapped in a lost century, and Kami Rayne the japanese whore looking man Dante was created and brought to life, a weird living beast , a mixture of some many things that may probably destroy the world and create another one out of the remains as easily as it can make way and destroy every single band that cannot rock.
