VLAD IN TEARS

Vlad in Tears was born in the 2005, from the dream of Kris, the lead vocals and piano player…

The band is composed by three brothers: Kris, Lex, Dario, and from their best friend ever Alexander. At the beginning, the band played as a HIM cover band, but soon they started writing their own songs, trying to arrive to a label…

After 34 gigs in Italy, Switzerland, Austria, and Ex-Yugoslavia, the band entered a recording studio, to realize their first demo tape “After the End”. This demo, composed by 10 songs, was never released, but used as a promotional item to reach some fans in Europe. Maybe they have never imagined how much this demo tape would have helped their quest, because the press, the people, soon started to put their eyes on the band. The sound was rude, but useful to their aim…

Hundreds of reviews, press interviews, live reviews, radio interviews and so on, brought the ViT to become one of the most amazing Gothic Italian best acts. The band decided to enter again the recording studio, thanks to the new deal with the amazing label Aural Music. The result was “Seed of an Ancient Pain”, claimed to be the best Gothic indie release of 2007. Soon the band reached many new fans, thanks to a great promotion, and thanks to the myspace profile, where the band has reached almost 10.000 friends in 6 months…

After some promotional months, the band started to play their 1st world tour, self made, but still amazing. Totally, they played 34 gigs in one year, due to the great amount of fans, and cds sold. The press said: “In this tour, the ViT are reaching the deepest side of what touring means” (Rock Hard, n° 43), “Even if there are no great agencies behind ‘em, in this tour the ViT are teaching the greatest bands how to play for the love of music” (Insomnia Magazine), “The ViT are coming from Italy to help us understanding the meaning of Gothic world” (Goth Legacy Magazine), “Seeing the ViT live makes me feel like in a dream, I've listened their albums thousands, but now I know I will love them for ever” (Spider's Web), “Even if here we are not used to have Italian bands touring, they showed me how great this country could be, because they bring with them a strange strength, and now I love them, I love Italy” (Gothic Vogue)…

Thanks to this success, because many dates were sold out, in particular the ones in UK and South America, the band is working to the new album, and is ready to start their 2nd world tour!!! At the moment, they will be on tour in UK, Germany, Ireland, Italy, USA, Sweden, Australia…and more are to come…
