    "I Vanexa sono stati una delle prime band heavy metal italiane, il loro LP omonimo è stato consacrato dalla stampa nazionale come il primo album heavy metal italiano.
    Nati a Savona nel 1979, il loro sound tipicamente anglo-sassone ebbe riscontri anche all’estero dove furono citati da parecchie riviste specializzate come fautori della nuova ondata di heavy metal band fine anni ‘70 primi anni 80. Inoltre parteciparono come headliner al primo festival heavy metal italiano tenutosi a Certaldo in provincia di Firenze il 21 maggio 1983
