  • Bio

    Crossbones were formed in the late 1995 in Tirana the capital city of Albania. First rehersals took place in a friend's house basement...hell yeah! ...and they hit the road to rock n roll with powerful explosive vocals, heavy guitar riffs and breathtaking drums. The first members were Olsi BALLTA(vocals) and Arbi XHELO(guitar),then Klodi SHEHU(guitar) and Alban MALE(drums & keyboards) joined the band and till 1998 they always had session bass players.At this time Fatjon GJASHTA joined the band as a bass player till 2000 when he left the band and moved to USA. The band had no name until Ols(vocals) opened an Albanian-English dictionary and picked the first word of a page he randomly opened…and it was CROSSBONES (1995). Crossbones is the 1-st albanian(AL) rock band releasing a genuine album in CD , called "Days Of Rage" in 1997.It was recorded in a home studio and mastered and produced in Switzerland. At that time the quality of sound was not so important more than the fact that Crossbones were entering in the Albanian rock music history as the first band ever recording and producing an album on CD of course with a little help for the financial issues. They are definitely the most powerful and famous band in the albanian metal community. Crossbones performed live in several concerts and rock festivals in Tirana the capital of Albania,Durres city,Skopie/Macedonia but the most important ones are: 1- Tirana Rock Festival 1996 (Tirana – Albania) 2- Balkan Underground Music Festival-Skopie/Macedonia 17-19 December 1999(punk,hardcore,thrash etc) held for 3 days in Skopie(about 700 people) 3- Radio Rock Fest - Tirana/Albania 2004 (about 700 people) 4- „Mjaft" Fest – Durres City 2004 (about 1500 people) 5- Top Fest Rock Maratone - Tirana/Albania 2005(400-500 people) 6- What's Up Fest – „MOTHER TEREZA" square-Tirana/Albania October 5, 2007(about 5000 people) 7- The White Night November, 29,2008 Tirana/Albania (Bllok area) 8- Rock the Block Fest, 14.04.2009 9- Participants in Top Fest 1/2 and 6 Modern Music Festival – nominated in the 1-st Edition for Best Pop/Rock category. -Crossbones thrash/metal band from Albania managed to keep the crowd moving...that's for sure.(comment taken from Maximum Rock n roll 2000-an article about Balkan Underground Music Festival-Skopie/Macedonia 17-19 December ). Crossbones still don't have a record deal because in Albania there's not such industry for rock music and the only way is to look around in other countries. They have recorded other songs since their 1-st album , but they never released a second one due to financial and sponsor support issues and because what mentioned above. May be it's time to make a serious step to go to the next level. If any record label,radio,magazine,fanzine,festivals,sponsors related with the rock music, wants to listen and help us out…is more than welcome. We just want to have the chance to prove ourselves in the international rock scene. Hails to our fans in Albania and all around the world!!! We'll never disappoint you!!! Stay heavy & Keep on Rockin' babe!!!

  • VANEXA

    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.
