Biography

Welcome aboard the Vertigo Steps universe... the most recent enterprise by Bruno A.

On the demanding heels of the Arcane Wisdom years and his work on Redstains, the maverick set to engage on a special and untimely aural endeavor, assembling together by far his most diverse, intensely challenging and downright drenching efforts.

Forged in September 2007 e.v., Vertigo Steps sees dim light predominantly as a studio project, Bruno A. handling composition and lyrics, but for the ambitious debut venture 7 eminent and also not leather-clad guests left their scar of vertigo, carefully handpicked for their various areas of expertise and unique attitude towards the music. Making this a trans-European affair, with inspiring musicians from Finland, Norway and naturally, Portugal.

The 10 songs/ themes salvaging the self-titled debut full-length were lubricated for some months and finally put to tape @ UltraSoundStudios (Braga) in March-April 2008, with Daniel Cardoso as mandatory choice for the helm. Soundscope idea? An ever emotional melting pot of ideas twistedly gathered in the last few years (including "I of the Storm" a track from the AW ghost sessions as well as state of the art compositions such as "The Swarming Process" or "The Gruesome Smile"). "Vertigo Steps" also features an orchestral-laden overture and an instrumental interlude, seamlessly shifting moods between full-on Melancholy Metal catharsis, demented groove assaults and textured, orchestrated ambiance. Epic dementia anyone?

Oh, its also vaguely, unassumingly conceptual and with a certain soundtrack feel. Fundamentally soulful musique in an environment of cascading blueprinted, homogenized muzak. Words dealing with pain, dreams, reality, projections, ill-hidden secrets, mind-disease, decadence & departure. Songs which underline raw emotion over technique. Artwork to suit them. The founder has been said to dismiss sky and skin as limit. Several mp3 posted. Do leave your intentionally offensive praise & step into the Vertigo avalanche.
