Vomito Negro arisen from the curse, which rests on the last stage of yellow fever.
Vomito Negro's musical collaboration already took off way back in 1983, and over the past years they established a name for themselves as uncompromising aural architects, combining power with emotion, trance with vision.
VOMITO NEGRO is latin (portuguese/spanish) for “black vomit”, a phenomenon that arises in the last stage of the disease yellow fever, when the patient throws up his putrefied intestines and ultimately dies. Macabre? One might consider Vomito Negro's interest in the darker side of the human condition as unhealthy, but in fact it..s fuelled by a desire to cope with and to understand life (and consequently, death) as we know it. Vomito Negro handle their topics with grim sarcasm and/or penetrating personal involvement; under the surface however, they give way to a message of redemption, passion and purification.
: From the start on, flexibility is one of Vomito Negro's major qualities.Vomito Negro is never content with a certain formula: their musical approach, essentially based on the European “Industrialist” tradition of the early eighties, takes a different angle with every record. Tracing back their history through albums as diverse as 'Vomito Negro' (their haunting debut from 1985) to 'Wake Up' (1992) one hears growth and evolution in Vomito Negro..s varied soundscapes. Vomito negro's synthesized psychodramas range from danceable to contemplative, from instrumental to and ambient to voice-ridden and brutal. Live, the sound and the imagery of Vomito Negro's stage are an inescapable force setting alight the imagination of the listener/spectator.
Vomito Negro established to be one of the most important Industrial European bands of the last decade. They built up a great following over the years. Lots of new bands following the same musical direction, Bootlegs, Compilations Bootlegs with bands like Front 242, Front Line Assembly, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Klinik an lots of other bands prove that Vomito Negro is one of the bands who made electronic music great in Europe.
But Vomito Negro has to be seen like an open structure, over he past years, lots of musicians worked together with this duo, 'A Split Second'- Chrismar Chayell (producer), Poésie Noire – Ludo Camberlin (producer), Revolting Cocks – Luck Van Acker (live mix),Liquid G, Mario Varewijck (Insekt, Lowpass), Eric Van Wontergem (Klinik, Insekt, Monolith), Andy Szava-Kovats (Data Bank A, Dominion), Mark Lane (Mark Lane band), Slin Thompson (Psyche).
After ‘Fireball’, an album mastermind Gin Devo wasn’t really content with, VOMITO NEGRO was put on hiatus. In 2008, he decided that it was time to wake up the beast again, and together with new member Borg, Gin recorded a new album that is ready to release.
In times where every band that puts together tracks using a standard sound module and vocal distortion in their bedroom is hyped as the new hope in the “Harsh Electro” or “Dark Electro” genre, an album like “Skull And Bones” feels like a cleansing shock. Belgian legend Vomito Negro, who have been active since the mid Eighties, still celebrate their sound with an intensity, creativity and passion that makes most recent hard Electro projects sound like a weekend trip to Disneyland. The spirit of “Skull And Bones” is of the deepest black… no hope, no mercy! Rhythmic loops are thudding relentlessly under dark sound scapes and the heavily manipulated shouts leave no room for sunny feelings. Even after being active for more than a quarter of a century, Vomito Negro are still a trademark name for a club compatible trip to hell that is bound to stir up, unsettle and electrify. The new album from one of the pioneers of the dark side of electronic music will be released as a limited first edition with a bonus disc that contains the group’s biggest hits, among them some of the greatest EBM classics, in spectacular new versions.
