Biography

Vedas Toronado is a band born in Uruguay, a quiet small country south of the south, where cows outnumber humans in a 4 to 1 ratio (cows tried a take-over, but they weren’t successful… still). In a land where candombe, murga and tropical rhythms are the main and most popular musical genres, these guys dared to defy the status quo and embraced grunge, hard rock, and metal to create aggressive but epic songs with carefully crafted guitar arrangements.

All four musicians barely knew each other before starting this project. However, it all fit together amazingly, especially when Monkeyman (guitars and backing vocals) joined forces with Christian, aka “Titan” (guitars and lead vocals) in 2017 to create the foundations of this band. Surprisingly, these two discovered that they had a nearly identical life history: having had a long-term relationship with music; playing piano and guitar since they were children; and discovering rock by chance thanks to two bands: Guns n’ Roses and Nirvana.

From 2017 onwards, Titan and Monkeyman worked together on the composition of several songs, always thinking of forming a band, which didn’t happen until 2020.

Once they knew that they had found the right people, they began to rehearse to record their first six songs, which will be released in 2022.

ABOUT THE SINGLE: “Farewell Sweet Girl” is about the loss of innocence in a world that seems too harsh to overcome. Melancholia gradually transforms into knowledge and wisdom as the character realizes that expectations should be placed on itself, on its purpose, rather than on the outside world. It’s a heavy tune with lots of dynamics: big riffs, epic choruses, and easy-going parts.
