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 the band, and some very succesfull live gigs, the duo is working hard on a new VOMITO NEGRO album that will be released towards the end of the year! Some of these new tracks like ‘Black Tie – White Shirt’ and ‘Darkmoon’ were already tested on the crowd of the latest Gothic Festival in Waregem, with success!
