Biography

Formed in the early 2000s in the cold north of Finland and shaped into its current form in 2005, Vortech combines both fast and slow approaches to metal with futuristic scenes of industrial machinery working in overdrive.

The debut album, Conclusion (2006), laid a lasting foundation in style and gained worldwide interest. It was quickly followed by one of the band's most popular albums, Wasteland (2007), which introduced hard-hitting speed into the mix and solidified the musical style that fans know and enjoy. A third album, Deep Beneath (2008), was released shortly after, incorporating some progressive elements.

Not long after, the fourth album, Posthumanism (2009), became a hit among fans and garnered global attention across various platforms. At this time, the band also took to the road, performing a series of live shows while composing their fifth album, Devoid of Life (2012). They began to experiment with a new electronic approach in The Occlusion (2014), merging fast metal with an electrifying style, culminating in ...of What Remains (2015).

Their latest album — the eighth in total - The Shadow Presence (2022) is a result of collaboration with fans and new guests, fusing all previous styles into a cohesive package of fast, futuristic, and electrified metal. With a new album nearing release in 2025, it will soon be time to enter the dystopian universe once more!
