Vortex by Stige

January 17, 2023 By Cory Balon

vortex-stige“Secondo demo per questi Stige, death/thrash band da Taranto. Il quintetto ha finalmente assestato la sua line-up dove svariati cambi. . .  Infatti le quattro tracce presenti in questo ‘Vortex’, sono sì furiose e violente, ma peccano pesantemente sul versante originalità. Gli Stige si rifanno palesemente alla scena americana, sia nel riffing serrato che nei solos sparati a duemila all’ora ( come gli Slayer insegnano ). Dentro di loro serpeggia anche una vena hardcore, decantata a pieni polmoni dal singer Gianfranco Liuzzi, il quale modula la propria voce su uno screaming acidulo e tiratissimo per quasi tutta la durata delle canzoni; ogni tanto Liuzzi tira fuori degli acuti Halfordiani, tecnicamente validi, ma che cozzano con il suo cantare ” classico “. Durante l’ascolto dei brani emerge anche una discreta cura nell’inserire linee altamente melodiche, questo grazie ai due chitarristi, Marcello Bruno ed Emanuele Giummarra, particolare che conferisce un pizzico di ariosità a canzoni comunque potenti e quadrate.”    –Andrea Pizzini, metal.it

The 2005 demo Vortex by Italian band Stige uses the illustration Styx-Philippo Argenti by illustrator Gustave Doré.
