The history of VAMPIRIA begins in April 1997, in the smalltown of Olavarría, 400 km south of Buenos Aires. At that moment their style was a sort of Doom/Death Metal with hints of traditional heavy metal. After a short period of time a keyboard-player and a soprano enter the band, closing its birth-sequence. This provokes a big change in the composition as well as in their sound, having the chance to work with new solutions, and get closer to symphonic black metal und dark-gothic metal.
The band is actually formed by:
Konde - vocals
Iván - bass
Oswalth - guitars & keyboards
Johann V. - drums
Elisa - Keyboards (live shows)
The female vocals have been taken care of several different soprano singers during these years, and in this very moment Daniela Ison is in charge, who also took part of the recordings of their first album.
Not a bad band in my opinion.
