Arcuri Overthrow is an Venezuelan experimental metal band based in Valencia, Venezuela. The band was formed in 2002 in Valencia by the brothers Arcuri: bassist Felipe and drummer Vicente, with the original name Black Rainbow. It´s the first Venezuelan metal band, only with bass and drums.

History

Felipe Arcuri

Its members are the brothers Arcuri: Felipe (bass player of the Venezuelan heavy metal band Arkangel[1]) and Vicente (drummer of the Venezuelan heavy metal band Gillman[2]), who in 2002, founded an experimental project, originally called Black Rainbow, the first metal band in Venezuela, only with bass and drums, replacing guitars with bass guitar, and adding electronic sequences executed under the MIDI environment.[3][4] That year, they had a unique performance at the Festival Nuevas Bandas (a musical contest that features newborn bands of different genres from all over the country), capturing the attention and applause of the audience, but the project remained in pause, due to the multiple commitments of the Arcuri brothers with their other activities. Meanwhile, they kept accumulating experience, rehearsing and creating themes.

Vicente Arcuri

From 2011, the project, initially called Black Rainbow, evolves and happens to be call Arcuri Overthrow, and they recorded several singles, with the participation of some Latin American rock stars, between them: Elkin Ramírez singer of Colombian hard rock band Kraken, and Hugo Bistolfi keyboardist of Argentine heavy metal band Rata Blanca.[5][6] Besides, they also collaborated: Andrew Vincze (Venezuelan vocalist of the Hungarian/Venezuelan progressive metal band Progness), and the string ensemble Akashiaft.
