Bio
What the f*ck is RUJO? :Rujo was founded in Helsinki, capital of Finland – a heavy metal frenzied country far up north in 1998, when metal was evolving from Metallica and Pantera dominated thrash era to Slipknot-infected mix of new rhythms and new-found aggression. Originally blending elements of early nineties, NY hardcore, LA metal, and punk, quickly transforming to more straightforward metalcore, Rujo has stayed true to it's conviction when new genres and new trends have surfaced to mainstream and media glory. Apart from the obvious influences from Pantera, Sepultura, RATM and Hatebreed, Rujo also treads the paths paved by Downset, Throwdown, Suicidal Tendencies and more southern rock or blues influenced bands like Down and Entombed. Markku Niiranen (Vocals), Petri Vesanen (drums), Toni Relander (bass), Antti Lehvonen (guitar) and Aleksi Issakainen (Guitar) have developed their own unique sound and style without solo performances and individuals stepping on the way of the music. Their energetic shows and non-compromising attitude has earned them a loyal following both locally and on the internet. Their live videos are among the most watched Finnish metal videos in Youtube and their shows constantly attract good crowds expecting good time, entertaining show and chaotic pit action. After recording numerous demos and an EP Rujo signed a record deal with a small independent record label Symbolic Records in early spring of 2009. Rujo's debut album Full Drop To Concrete followed shortly and was released in May 2009. The record explores Rujo's chosen direction with new nuances brought by vocalist Markku who joined the band in 2007 and brought the band's sound even further from the death/thrash sound it's former recordings represented. Rujo's uncompromising attitude, positive and constructive aggression and view of the world coupled with the consistency and staying true to their roots have been held high in the views of their followers all over the world. -

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.
