History

After numerous successful releases like Shock, Human and The New Drugs, and discontent with the result of their last studio album Fireball, Gin Devo decided to put Vomito Negro aside for a while and to invest all his energy and creativity in his new project called Pressure Control and released the debut album Vamp. After only two more concerts Guy Van Mieghem sold his studio equipment and stopped all his musical activities since then. In 2008 Gin decided to bring back Vomito Negro. After asking BORG, who already was a member of Gin Devo's side project Pressure Control, to join the band. While they successfully toured Europe from 2008 until 2009,the duo started working on the new album album.

On January 22, 2010, the band released Skull & Bones through Out Of Line Records. Some of these new tracks like "Black Tie, White Shirt" and "Darkmoon" were already tested on the crowd of the WGT Festival, in Leipzig and the Bimfest in Antwerp.

In February 2010, just after its release, 'Skull & Bones' entered the German Alternative Charts (DAC) on the tenth position, only to climbed further up to the second position one week later. Meanwhile the remake version of their club classic 'Move Your Body(V2K10)',which is featured on the bonus disc of the limited edition version, entered the DAC's single charts shooting up to the 13th place.
