Every ending implies an infinite amount of power for a new start. When founding VITJA from the ashes of former bands and periods of life, four highly talented musicians smartly exploided this impulse to create something bigger, more challenging and inimitable than everything they had done before in their lives. A clear vision and visualization of what the band stands for, highly persuading live shows and an all-embracing, undefinable, erratic aura, bestowed Vitja highest attention from day one. This attention may peak in the release of their urgently anticipated debut album "Echoes" in December 2013. Two insinuating precursors for "Echos" have been discharged already: The band's resounding single "Conversations" and their extolled music video for "Sleeping in Snow", shot and edited by Ambitious.Films. Having toured with Martyr Defiled and played such far-reaching festival appearances such as Euroblast, Mair1 or Reload in 2013, VITJA tirelessly continue to put countless miles on their van through unremitting touring. Having delivered a matchless studio performance after months of fully focused songwriting, it was top producer Aljoscha Sieg who was chosen to take charge of producing and mixing VITJA's debut album at Pitchback Studios in Cologne. Both parties acknowledged that none of their previous musical projects had even been slightly as acute and complex as creating this album. "Echoes" turned out to be nothing less than a jaw-dropping masterpiece of heavy music on a technical and constructive level hardly ever before reached by a European band. With "Echoes" VITJA created the first massive pillar of their very own legacy. A legacy of intense and claiming music, recondite lyricism and indestructible volition. VITJA are David Beule (Shouts), Vladimir Dontschenko (Guitar), Mario Metzler (Bass), Daniel Pampuch (Drums)
