ANDREA “ACE” BARTOLINI:
he approaches itself to electric bass in the fall of 1981, this means only that he purchased a bass without knowing quiet well what to do with that, in the November of the same year put himself in the hands of Walter Poli, famous florentine bassplayer and teacher that manages to put Ace on the right direction to become a good bassplayer.
Steve Harris, Geezer Butler, but also Dee Dee Ramone and Paul Simonon are Ace's first musical references and in the spring of 1982 he started his very first band and after a few monts he started also live activity, 1983 comes and so the military service , a year after that he puts together MACHINE MESSIAH, an hard & heavy florentine combo with which he played until the band stopped activity in 1992 in order to only gather in occasion of sporadic live events in the years to follow.
With MACHINE MESSIAH he played all over centre and north of Italy also takin' part in various manifestations, festivals and contest between which Arezzo Wave in 1991 and publishing various tracks in several compilations of Italian groups, unfortunately although the huge following and the positive critics the band did not manage to get a record deal and so stopped activity remaining in the collective memory as a great unsigned cult band.

In spite of the given satisfactions coming from playing live remains the wish to propose original music and so when, in the summer of 2007 singer Jack Meille (Mantra, Tygers Of Pan Tang, Norge, Pinball Wizards) offers to Ace to be the new bassplayer in Mantra he accepted with enthusiasm beginning to play live with the band continuing the promotion of their third album “HATE BOX”, the band currently is working to the drawing up of the material that will be part of the next album.
