Welcome aboard the Vertigo Steps universe... the newest enterprise by Bruno A.

On the demanding heels of the Arcane Wisdom years and his work on Redstains, again 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., VS starts out predominantly as a studio project, B handling composition and lyrics, but for the ambitious 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.

The 10 songs/ lyrics salvaging the self-titled debut full-length were lubricated for some months and finally put to tape @ UltraSoundStudios (Braga) in March-April '08, with Daniel Cardoso at 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. The founder has been said to dismiss sky and skin as limit. Several samples posted. Do leave your intentionally offensive praise & step into the Vertigo avalanche.

"... there is always something lurking in the corners of your mind, in the steepness of your kind, the girl with the stabwounds behind..." ( in The Gruesome Smile)
