  • Bio

    The DRASTIC spaceship started its journey through the interstellar spaces in 1995, when Chris Buchman recorded his first demo-tape, "Creator of Feelings". This little piece of melancholic art was selected as "best demo" by Metal Hammer, Metal Shock and Flash on planet earth, and reached the top-ten on Mars and Saturn. The Plutonians are looking forward to listening to these five extremely emotional songs, but some problems, due to the well-known slowness of the Italian postal service, are making it difficult to send the cassette there before the new millennium... In 1996, an intergalactic label (Beyond... prod.) started the distribution of the demo-tape in the cosmic underground. Chris had thousands of deal-proposal, but having been drugged and tortured by Beyond... prod., "spontaneously" decided to sign a contract with this label... Reduced to slavery, Chris worked hard on the new stuff for more than two years and finally, in 1998 gave to the (cosmic) light his debut full-length deluxe digipak CD titled "Thieves of Kisses". 8 songs of pure Cosmoheroic Melancholia: unearthly female vocals, romantic keyboards and a powerful guitar riffing for a trip into another dimension! Metal Hammer selected this innovative and unconventional work as “Best Italian Album of the Year”. In 2003 Chris returned from a five years space trip, changed the moniker into DRASTIQUE and released - supported by the amazing performances of Fay (female vocalist) and Mahavira (ex ENSOPH, male vocalist) - his second album titled “Pleasureligion”: 7 pieces of pure Cosmoerotic Melancholia, including a wired cover of Sandra’s hit of the eighties “Maria Magdalena”. The first 1000 copies are available in an elegant black digipak version. Chris started this project with the idea of a total experience: a voyage through our deepest feelings and strongest emotions, flying on the enchanted wings of art, among dying planets and shining supernovas. Now it's up to you: listen... and discover the infinite. .. .......... ........ .... ...... .. .. ..

  • VANEXA

    Vanexa were one of the first Italian heavy metal band, their self-titled LP was consecrated by the national press as the first italian heavy metal album. Born in Savona in 1978, their sound was typically Anglo-Saxon evidence abroad where they were cited by several magazines as proponents of the new wave of heavy metal
    band from late '70s early '80s. They also participated as a headliner at the first heavy metal festival held in Certaldo Italian in Florence May 21, 1983. In their careers have also participated in various compilations including metal of Metal Mountain, exit the United States, with the song "Hanged Man" and Metal Italy with the song "It's Over". In 2007 a CD reissue of their eponymous debut album with 3 bonus tracks and unreleased second album "Back From The Ruins" with 5 bonus tracks taken from a live concert of 1984 was released in 2010 is out "1979-80" a compilation of early material ( totally sung in italian) released on vynil and cd supports. We needed a new fresh band with a new fresh sound. VANEXA spearheaded what was termed 'the new wave of heavy metal'. They were a more than welcome addition of the italian hard rock/metal scene. Yet, this debut offering offers more energy and speed than actual accomplishment. In 1983 VANEXA released their self-titled debut album, starting what would become a legendary career for the band. They were one of many promising bands in the New Wave of Heavy Metal movement at the time. Following the success of Vanexa, the band released released their second album Back From The Ruins in 1988. The album featured fan-favourites "Midnight Wolves", "Creation", "Hanged Man". This new album contained many tracks that had been written prior to the release of the debut album, but were considered surplus. With songs already shaped on the road well in advance, only two new tracks were written for the album; Hanged Man and Creation. The band adopted a different approach for their 1994 studio album, titled Against The Sun. This was not a concept album, though it was themed loosely around the idea of social problems. It featured, for the first time in the band's history, synthesized Keyboards and guitars sounds to add textures and layers to the sound. Though considered different from the norm of Vanexa sounds, it a good response across the world, especially for new incredible voice of Roberto TIRANTI. The VANEXA lyrics contains literature quotes about famous books/movies or social problems fusioned in great heavy metal sound.
