Rosae Crucis, founded in 1990, from the minds of Andrea Magini and Igor Baccei. In 1993 the band released "IL RE DEL MONDO" (The King of the World), their first demotape, which gained very good press reviews and strong audience appreciation. This record is full of classic metal and power, with lyrics based upon the Rosae Crucis, the Lord of the storms, and generally inspired by the medieval Church; in the pure epic metal style some songs talk about the sacred crown of Metal that we wear over our heads, Christ, mysticism, and hail to the king of the world, the one who'll be able to stand when others shall fail. The formation for "Il re del mondo" was: Andrea Magini (guitars),Igor Baccei(guitars),Giuseppe Cialone (voices),Manuel Timperi (bass), Giordano Bimbi (drums). Before the first and the second demo, for a great number of lives gigs, Mario Ferruzzi take the place at the Bass Guitar. The second demo, "FEDE POTERE VENDETTA" (Faith Power Revenge), was written with our blood, with ours hearts of steel. The first song, "LA CADUTA DEL FALSO METAL" (The Fall of False Metal), talks about our return after years of silence; in those years we fought an endless war with the false, to come back stronger and, finally, to destroy with our Heavy Metal everyone who tempted to drag us down . We believe in this music, we grew with Heavy Metal, and we live for Heavy Metal. Igor Baccei left the band before the release of the demo. The formation for FPV was Andrea Magini (guitars),Giuseppe Cialone (voices),Max Salvatori (bass),Giordano Bimbi (drums).
Our influence above all the bands is clearly PURE HEAVY METAL. The Band carry on the arm a tattoo with the phrase: DEATH TO FALSE METAL. We love band like the old Manowar,Running Wild, Blind Guardian, Rage, Grave Digger, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Virgin Steele, Warlord, Manilla Road, Cirith Ungol, Slayer, and all who play Heavy Metal .Don't care if it is power metal, heavy metal, classic, gothic, dark, death, thrash or whatever you want.. We Love Heavy Metal. We shout FAITH POWER and REVENGE because if you believe in us and in the Gods of Heavy Metal, if you have the FAITH , you must be part of the heavy metal crowd, you will be in the Legion of the Damned , and with this POWER, we will get our REVENGE on all who live and play the FALSE. After years of battle in Italy, we are trying to sing in English and try to get out in Europe and all over the world. In the 2000 the band put out the promo "Bran Mak Morn" that is the first attempt to sing in English. In this promo there are 3 of the songs that will make the first Album. The formation for this promo was: Andrea Magini (guitars),Giuseppe Cialone (voices),Max Salvatori (bass),Mirko Lai (drums). In the 2001 the band recorded the manowar cover "Pleaseure Slave" for an italian Tribute to Manowar. Mirko Lai left the band before the recording sessions of the first album.
At the end of 2002, the band played live with Manilla Road and Doomsword. Manilla Road left a deep sign in the band, making a deep friendship with the American band. In the 2003 the band recorded the first official Album "Worms of the Earth". Giuseppe Orlando, drummer of the famous italian band "Novembre",and great friend of the band, sit down behind the drum war machine to help the friends for the album. This was a great hit for the band. The power of Giuseppe Orlando gave new energy to the roman's combo that recorded a well accepted debuct album. A lot of help came from the label , Scarlet Records, that put a lot of energies to produce the album. On February 2003 , after the release of the album, Tiziano "Azagtoth" Marcozzi, join the band in the official role of guitar, side by side with Andrea "kiraya" Magini. Two deadly axes are now working for the new material.
