Poderosa

Poderosa- The only band that isn't totally gay

About Me

Poderosa formed in June of 2004 in a little town in the south of England called Swindon under the name of Terminal Virus. However, after various line up changes (there was about seven of us at one point!) and differing musical tastes, the band evolved into a much faster, heavier and generally better monster than it ever was before, taking on more of a Slayer attitude than the Black Sabbath stylings that it had previously adopted. Almost two years later and despite scrapping most of our songs (for new, better material) we are still going strong. Poderosa was a name found by Ozz when looking through a book on Che Guevera. The name came from Che's beloved motorcycle "la Poderosa II" translating to "The Powerful One, the second". Some people may remember Ozz, Chris & Nathan from our days with Swindon metal act Rising Tension , if you do, prepare for a totally fresh onslaught!
