Vertigo steps | en

Trans-european project created by Bruno A in September 2007. Vertigo Steps play a kind of Heavy Rock/ Atmospheric Metal or as the band ironically self-pinned "Melancholy Metal", with a myriad influences (from post-rock to movie scores, alternative rock to extreme metal). Featuring several guest musicians, Vertigo Steps recorded their very well received debut album ("Vertigo Steps") in April 2008 and their sophomore release ("The Melancholy Hour") in May 2010, both at UltraSoundStudios, with Daniel Cardoso as producer. Both albums are available through digital distribution.

The third album was recorded in September-November 2012, again at Ultrasound Studios with producer Daniel Cardoso. It's title is "Surface/ Light" and the band consider it to be the ultimate Vertigo Steps album, even more atmospheric and post-rock but also many catchy, melancholic rockers. It was released on April 16th 2012, by Ethereal Sound Works.

Videoclips for "Fire Eaters", "INhale" and "someone (like you)" were shot and are available at the band's Youtube channel
