THE ESTIGMA was formed in 1998 with Emanuel Collosa in Drums, Luciano D'ascenzo in voice, Jose Alfageme in Bass and Nicolas Domenicone in guitar. The first three were playing together for a pair of years before but without a stable guitarist. The original idea was to do something not yet definite but always around the punk, Hardcore, Metal and Oi! music that are the styles that influence the members of the band. In 2004 Jose Negro incorporated, in guitar, to the band. In the year 2005 Nicolas Domenicone moves away of the band by personal reasons that impede him to continue.
THE ESTIGMA always composed according to the motivations of the moment being able to be noted this in the first disk of the band where this goes since the Punk Rock to primitive Hardcore.
THE ESTIGMA continues along this line always seeking its identity, creating its style and preserving intact its influences along the years, un uncommon fact for most rock groups. The band still seeks for its own style, combining its interests showing an unalterable attitude, i.e. liberty not being tied to any dogma. No adaptation is the premise, since adaptation constitutes the onset of slavery.
