VORTICE CREMISI

VORTICE CREMISI or Crimson Vortex is a band coming from Ancona, Italy, formed in 1992. After several line-up changes, current line-up is the following: GIOVANNI CIFALDI(Crimson John) vox/guitar, SIMONE CECCONI (Simon Checkone)bass & MASSIMO DI PRENDA(Max Vortex) drums. The musical genre VORTICE CREMISI are moving into could be defined as heavy-weighted-guitar-rock. Their first demo was recorded in 1995 and these recording sessions turned out so good that they immediately reissued officially as a debut mcd by the well known Italian label Vacation House, distributed abroad by Helter Skelter from Rome. In mid 1999 VORTICE CREMISI were picked up to be part of the important "Cookery Course" 2x7 vinyl compilation, which included 4 of the most outstanding Italian stoner rock bands; THATS ALL FOLKS, ACAJOU, HOGWASH & VORTICE, obviously. A few months later, Vortice Cremisi were asked from the Italian label Black Widow to contribute a track to a Blue Cheer CD tribute (which included seminal acts such as PENTAGRAM and a lot more) so they agreed to contribute with their own vision of how a Blue Cheer song could have been done! The bands's live activity is pretty much active in the whole Italian/ European area. Some of the most important dates were the 1998 East European/Polish tour and the Rumble Fish Festival in Italy together with most of the main names of the new Italian "stoner rock" scene. Our first full length CD "Falling into the Crimson Vortex" was released on the Italian RED SUN label in 2003. We hope to release a new album soon and make it to the USA in the next Spring/Summer to do a mini tour. www.rockbottomzine.com..This profile was edited with MySpace Profile Editor MySpace Profile EditorVORTICE CREMISI-NO WELFARE:
