Biography
Vita Imana was born in 2005 when Dani (drums) and Pepe (bass) joined together with Miriam (percussion). Basically, percussion was what they all had in common, but they decided to start a band mixing metal and ethnic roots from several countries such as Morocco, Brazil or Japan. Later on Román (guitar) joined in, who was also keen on ethnic rythms. A curious fact about this is that he actually couldn't play the guitar back then, but he managed to learn and became the first guitarist of the band. The vocalist was an intimate friend of theirs, but he soon left the band. Later, with the addition of Puppy (guitar) and the new vocalist, Pablo, the 6-member band was completed. It was with this line-up that they recorded a demo, which was never released and, after several gigs, Pablo decided to leave Vita Imana. A long search for a new vocalist took place and, in the end, they found their current vocalist, Javier.
This is a powerful metal group, whose music is characterized mainly by the overwhelming rythmical base created by a battery that unfolds, as much accelerated and frenetic rates as other dense and heavy... this one are complemented perfectly with a line of additional percussion (darbuka, djembe, surdo, berimbao...), inserting this way the tribal character that the group makes feel in its music, doing echoes of ethnic rates of different countries like Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, Australia, Senegal...
The guitars, with ultraserious refining, offer riffs demolishing connected with extreme coherence one after another one, followed by a line of low that provides the heavy weight to the sound of Vita Imana. As far as the voice, a this one manifest extreme degree of aggressiveness that arrives until the limits of the paranoia, transmitting in the messages ambiguous, but constant sensations: madness, hysteria, rage..., but mainly, force to emerge in the realities that asphyxiate to us. It is this mixture of the more forceful modern metal and the tribal rates of percussion which makes the sound so peculiar of the group.
The style and the form to compose the songs are born like necessity to express the creativity that takes inside, fed by an enormous amount of influences of all type. All these influences put in common give like fruit more or less original subjects, but that they do not leave indifferent that listens to them.
