- Vendex
Influenced by the literature of Dante Alighieri in his work the Divine Comedy, as well as everything related to history, Vendex comes with the intention of creating a path to an inner journey wrapped in dark melodies, blunt and sharp bass that defy the natural, reaching supernatural sounds that touch or even reach what would be the sound of the underworld. Generating sounds that guide the Dantesque idea of a trip to the underworld with the aim of reaching paradise. All this through a forceful and enveloping sound, thus creating a path to the nine levels of hell, purgatory and finally reaching paradise.
