Artists > Vomito Negro

Vomito Negro already took off way back in 1983, and over the past years they  established a name for themselves as uncompromising aural architects, combining power with emotion, electro with vision.
Vomito Negro is Latin for “black vomit”, a phenomenon that arises in the last stage of the disease yellow fever, when the patient throws up his putrefied intestines and ultimately dies. Macabre? One might consider Vomito Negro's interest in the darker side of the human condition as unhealthy, but in fact it’s fueled by a desire to cope with and to understand life (and consequently, death) as we know it. Vomito Negro handles their topics with grim sarcasm and/or penetrating personal involvement; under the surface however, they give way to a message of redemption, passion and purification.

From the start on, flexibility and diversity is one of Vomito Negro's major qualities. Vomito Negro is never content with a certain formula: their musical approach, essentially based on the European “Industrialist” tradition of the early eighties, takes a different angle with every record. Vomito Negro established to be one of the most important Industrial European bands of 80’s & early 90’s and built up a great following since.

Then, after numerous successful releases like 'Shock', Human' & 'The New Drugs' (to name a few) and discontent with the result of their last studio album ‘Fireball’, Gin Devo decided to put Vomito Negro aside for a while and to invest all his energy and creativity in his new project called Pressure Control and released the debut album ‘Vamp’ (Daft Records ). After only two more concerts Guy Van Mieghem sold his studio equipment and stopped all his musical activities since …

Vomito Negro went into a sleep mode…

In 2008 Gin Devo decided the time was ripe to re-animate the sleeping beast Vomito Negro. After asking BORG, who already was a member of Gin Devo's side project Pressure Control, to join him, they played numerous succesfull live gigs whilst working hard on a NEW VOMITO NEGRO ALBUM! New tracks like ‘Black Tie – White Shirt’,  ‘Darkmoon’ and 'United Fake' were tested succesfull on the crowds of the BIMFEST (Antwerp, Belgium, 2008) Gothic Festival (Waregem, Belgium, 2009) and the Wave Gotik Treffen (Leipzig,Germany, 2009).

Towards the end of 2009 Vomito Negro signed to Out Of Line Records who released the new album 'SKULL & BONES' on January 22th, 2010. The first limited edition pressing includes a sort of 'best of' bonus disc,  'THE 2K10 REMAKES' containing new, updated and improved versions of some those Vomito Negro classics.

Live you can expect mixture of their best classic tracks and some new song from the forthcoming new album, so don't wait to get this legendary dark EBM band on your stage! Ask for more info on info[at]bodybeats.be now!
