Crawler was born from an idea of Claudio Cesari (voice), Giovanni Martiniello (bass guitar) and Lucio Cassani (guitar) that, joined in the same passion for hard rock and classic metal, decide to start this musical project. This idea carries out with the entrance of guitar player, Renato Fecit and the drummer, Nicola Martiniello.
The Band begins to be appearing in live events and performs a repertory of classic covers of the most famous heavy metal bands, like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Megadeth, Monowar , and many others.
First time thanks Giovanni's idea in composition, the Band begins to think the writing of own songs. In 2004 the guitar player Lucio Cassani was forced out the activity with the Crawlers for the reason of business commitments. So, in this time, Rudy Gonella Diaza has docked into the Band. In the spring of 2005 Crawlers decide to make concrete our own work with the record of the demo "Undeads", containing first two songs of the Band.
The Band printed a few copies of this work but published it on their MySpace profile. On MySpace "Undeads" obtained an unexpected success: after a year and a half from its opening, the MySpace page of Crawler was visited by more than 74000 users and has more than 22000 friends.
In the summer of 2007 Rudy decided to leave the Crawler for engaging in a his parallel project and the Band put to find a new guitarist. At the same time Crawler starts recording the new EP "Burst", but the recording session is interrupted until the Band is not comlete.
In September 2007 the band finally finds its guitarist, Alessandro Brusaferri with which resumes the concerts. At April 2008 is out "Burst" that is printed in a good number of copies.
A year later Alessandro Brusaferri leaves the Band due his work problems and the Band was looking again for a guitar player.
In the same month Crawler find Filippo Severgnini, young but very skilled guitarrist who brought into the Band new and interesting ideas for the composition of new songs.
Crawler begin his concerts with Filippo at Rolling Stone in Milan (historic Italian club) as support for Haggard (September 4, 2008). In these times Crawler write new material for his debut album and play it in his live shows with great success of audience.
At May 2009 Crawler turn his first videoclip for the song “Masters of the Night”
directed by Christian Arioli (Italian horror director) and put it on his MySpace profile and on
YouTube. The actress of this videoclip is Maya Vakoulenko (Russian actress and model)
who work also for Italian tv and cinema.
At August 27, the Band will play at Festabikers in Cologno al Serio (great bikers
meeting) as support for Pino Scotto (famous Italian showman and singer of Vanadium in
the ‘80).
In the same year Crawler played at “Halloween Metal
Meeting” (October 31 2009) in Maasmechelen ( Limburg – Belgium ).
Now the Crawlers are continuing the exhibitions and the song's writing...so, the rest of the history they have writed.
