RELEASES:
- HUMAN ENGINE (The HolyCobraSociety Records)
Released on January 2008
REVIEWS:
- Vortice is a beast that offers its innocent hand but soon becomes guilty to trap us inside their extreme and mathematical metal. The influence from Meshuggah is present but coldness do not conquer them. A prime opera, a collective work with an impressive beauty. (87/100) ROCK ESTATAL
- It’s basically the best metal record ever done in Spain. ARTO! MAGAZINE
- Moho, Orthodox and now Vortice shape the best extreme metal generation ever in Spain. Monolithic and shocking riffs that makes “Human Engine” difficult to believe that doesn’t come from US or any Nordic country. ROCKDELUXE
- Vortice is in my opinion one of the best ( maybe the best) extreme metal band that ever had this country. Vortice’s music is too aggressive, vital and expansive to be classified inside the Math metal genre. If they were a mathematical algorithm, they would be a multiplication, never a substraction. (80/100) ROCKZONE
- They come with strength and determined to fill stages with with their complicated and twisted riffs worth coming from the godfathers of math metal Meshuggah. They are plently of quality and talent, they sweat power, volume and wrapping. (8.5/10) ROCKHARD
- Vortice have been 4 years smashing stones in their rehearsal room to assault stages and leave us speechless with their complex but at the same time direct and tough metal. Let’s say, they are Meshuggah but born in the streets not in a laboratory. VICE MAGAZINE
- Human Engine is a convincing and careful lesson of metal that could honeslty be associated to the progressive Meshuggah but less technical and complex, making their songs wilder, visceral and stunning. Spain needs more powerful bands like Vortice. (4/5) MONDOSONORO
- Outstanding work, they are one of the most interesting metal bands in Spain. If they came from outside Spain they would be probably getting the best appreciation, at least in Spain they have. Bands like Vortice are really need for the Spanish extreme scene. (8.5/10) THE METAL CIRCUS
- Vortice represents the new generation of amazing Spanish metal bands. They have no reason to envy bands like meshuggah. Enviable quality. (5/6) GREY DAY ZINE
VORTICE was born in Barcelona on January 2004. The band guidelines on a musical level differ from everything done before by its members, becoming closer to other musical styles like Extreme Metal, Post Metal or Math Metal, as well as drawing on the personal influences of each of its members. Vortice’s sound is thick, low, heavy and complex.
Vortice entered the studio for first time on January 2006 to record three songs for a promotion and and took advantage of this opportunity to improve their sound for their full length debut album. This recording session was produced by Iban Puigel (The Unfinished Sympathy ) at the Fundicio Musical del Barri in Hospitalet del Llobregat (Barcelona). Iban, former member of Vortice, understood perfectly the band sound producing an amazing result.
Vortice has played live around Spain in cities like Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Ubeda, Bilbao, or Donosti and continues to do so. They have played with well-known bands like Red Sparowes , Cult of Luna, Unsane, Maroon, Naerah, Moho, Moksha, Adrift, and played in the 2008 edition of the ESTRELLA DAMM PRIMAVERA SOUND Festival in Barcelona (one of the most important indie music festivals around the world) with bands like Portishead, Public Enemy, DEVO, Explosions in the sky, Boris, OM, Moho ..
Between the 6th and 20th of April 2007 the band went to studio to record their debut full length album “HUMAN ENGINE”. It took place at the The Room BCN Studios in Barcelona, produced by Gorka Dresbaj and mastered at the TailorMaid Studios in Sweden by Peter in de Betou (Dimmu Borgir, Enslaved, Meshuggah, Marduk, Nasum, Nine,...). The record was released by the Madrid label Holy Cobra Society Records on January 2008 and distributed by PIAS / A NEW LABEL. Human Engine was well received by the musical press and was considered the 4th best National record from 2008 in Rockzone magazine and 5th best metal record for Mondosonoro magazine. Also during 2008 it received rave reviews by different musical Spanish magazines like Rockzone, MondoSonoro, RockHard , RockDeluxe, Arto! and Rock Estatal. As well they were interviewed on TV Spanish musical program “Loops!” in a metal special with Dave Mustaine from Megadeth. Human Engine was also reviewed by many webzines spread around the world. Also the band obtained endorsements from Jagermeister and Fakie Clothing. Pere Sanchez and Llorenç Puig obtained personal endorsements from ESP guitars and SONOR drums respectively. "A very exciting band on a very exciting journey that I will be following very closely"
