Exence

Band, *2000
Rock

Exence were born in 2000 in Florence, Italy as an extreme metal project of Federico "Pule" Puleri, also of Vision Divine. After the promos "Ferocity" (2001) and "Dynamics" (2004), the band decided to record the full-length "Hystrionic" (released by Punishment 18 Records in 2009). After a short promotional tour opening shows for Cynic and Darkane in 2009, the band amicably decided to split because of different views about the musical direction to follow. This break lasted 2 years, but instead of weakening the passion, induces Pule to write a new album and to create a new situation. Along with a new lineup, there is the will to evolve the sound of the band from a "progressive death” to more thrash territory. After months of hard work the band assumes a well-defined identity through the insertions of new members Ritchie Bleed on vocals, Riccardo Tortoli on guitar, Dado Lastruccl on bass, and Francesco "Breeze' Brizzi on drums. After the period of silence, the band recorded their new album in Rome in 2011 with Stefano Morabito of 16th Cellar Studios. Renewed enthusiasm, a desire to take out anger on stage, and a new album define the comeback of Exence.
