Artist History The Russian (Saint-Petersburg) band ROZ VITALIS plays music which is keyboard-oriented progressive rock with elements of electro, “pseudogothic”, doom and avant-garde. In short, the style can be treated as a “synth-prog”. This music is influenced mainly by LE ORME, YES, ELP, KING CRIMSON, GENTLE GIANT, SUPERSISTER, DEPECHE MODE, LACRIMOSA. ROZ VITALIS exists since 2001 Spring. Originally it was one-man band and consisted of Ivan V. Rozmainsky on keyboards and programming. This “line-up” had “released” in 2001 two albums of purely instrumental music (“Per Crucem Ad Lucem” and (EP) “Nice Edge”). In 2002 the band had expanded and transformed into quartet with male and female vocals, but, as before, without “alive” basses and drums. This line-up had “released” one-hour album “L’Ascensione”. Then “owner” of male vocal had left the band and as a trio ROZ VITALIS in 2003 has “released” (EP) “Painsadist” and one-hour album "Lazarus".. Now the band creates music for future album and looks for “alive” bassist and drummer in order to be able to make live performances.
