Vanished from Earth is an argentine progressive rock band formed by Mike Buenaventura Lima on drums, Ignacio Gulich on bass, Fernando Refay on keyboards and Rodrigo San Martín on guitar.

The band was created in July 2011 after a series of successful collaborations between Rodrigo and Fernando. They decided to start a project exploring all their musical influences, mixing 70’s progressive rock ala Yes, modern progressive metal like Dream Theater and latin and jazz-fusion. Mike and Nacho joined to provide a powerful rhythm section and to add their own unique approach to music.

Vanished from Earth’s music is generally complex, usually exploring long multi-themed compositions with lots of key, tempo and time signature changes.

Only three months after it’s first rehearsal the band made it’s debut in “La Plata Prog 2011” festival, Latin America’s biggest prog event, sharing billboard with the likes of Contraluz, Uranian, Fughu, Atempo and Jinetes Negros.

In November 2011 Vanished from Earth performed for the second time, this time in the third edition of the “Close to the Edge Buenos Aires Prog Fest”, sharing stage with William Gray, Laplace and Crisol.

The band then spent their time recording their debut album, which was released in late 2012. The eponymous record offers a new and distinctive sound and carries the intention to take argentine music to the next level. Vocals were provided by Charlie Giardina, of Flamedown fame.

Vanished from Earth is currently doing a national promotional tour, during which they’ll headline important festivals like “La Plata Prog 2012” and the fourth edition of the “Close to the Edge Buenos Aires Prog Fest”.
