This Friday’s Guest DJ: VANEXA

Vanexa (2016 Lineup)

VANEXA was one of the first Italian heavy metal bands. Their self-titled LP was hailed by the national Italy press as the first Italian heavy metal album. Born in Savona in 1978, their sound was typically Anglo-Saxon evidence abroad where they were cited by several magazines as proponents of the New Wave Of Heavy Metal movement from the late ’70s through the early ’80s.

A lot has happened to VANEXA in 44 years since the band first formed including several demo tapes, vinyl LPs, and several full-length albums. Back in 2015 landed on their third vocalist in Ranfa “Andrea” Ranfagni. 2021 saw the band release their fifth full-length album in Last In Black!

This Friday vocalist Andrea Ranfagni and guitarist Pier Gonella will introduce and each play 5 of their favorite tracks on the show. After the show we’ll play some music from their last album, Last In black.
