Describing their muscular blend of hard rock, post-grunge, and alternative metal as "chaotic music to make love and war to," West Coast power trio Red Devil Vortex launched in 2016 in Los Angeles, California, but the group originated in South America. Citing influences like Kiss, Alice in Chains, Black Sabbath, and Muse, vocalist/bassist Gabriel Connor and guitarist/vocalist Pablo Kravicz were members of the popular independent Brazilian hard rock/heavy metal outfit Livin Garden for over a decade -- the band issued two studio albums (Where I Can Breathe [2009] and Bring It On [2014]) before disbanding in 2015. After relocating to Los Angeles and adding Iago Marcondes behind the kit, the newly minted Red Devil Vortex issued their debut single, "The Fallen," and began making their presence known in the Southern California heavy music scene with performances alongside hard-hitting contemporaries like Uli Jon Roth, Dayshell, Saliva, and I Am Morbid. In 2017 they headed into the studio with producer and songwriter Augustus Cryns (Butcher Babies, Anti-Flag, Westfield Massacre) and began laying down tracks for what would become their debut EP. The resulting Something Has to Die arrived in May of the following year. ~ James Christopher Monger
