Band
Members
josh - vocalist
A formidable addition to the lineup, Josh is the band’s vocal powerhouse, seamlessly transitioning between incendiary growls and melodic, expressive clean singing. Though the youngest, his musical depth is immense, mastering both bass and guitar. Josh officially plugged into the machine in August. Hailing from the historic heart of Camden Town, London, his analytical mindset from his private life as a Cyber Security Engineer fuels the precision and complexity of his performance.
jared - lead guitar
Jared, Lead guitar, song writer.
Born in Lublin, Poland, Jared's passion for bands like Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Metallica and Death as well as guitarists such as Steve Vai and Joe Satriani, inspired him to start playing guitar at the age of fifteen.
After performing with several local groups, he formed the doom metal band Berial. They performed at gigs across the city and at student festivals, playing for audiences of up to a few thousand people. The band recorded their full-length album, In the Silence.
In 2001, Jared moved to London and took a long break from being in a band, but continued to compose riffs and tracks. He occasionally recorded in the studio with Michael Tedstone, who is now a composer for Netflix movies. In 2021, Jared began composing and recording tracks for his new project, Vantorium, with the help of a session vocalist. He has also recorded a video for one of the songs. You can hear influences from bands such as In Flames, Death, Killswitch Engage, Slayer, and Arch Enemy in Vantorium's music.
Leon - Rhythm guitar
Growing up, Vantorium's guitarist was constantly exposed to classic rock legends like AC/DC, Bon Jovi, and Guns N' Roses by his dad, an early influence that inevitably drew him into the world of guitar music. As a teenager, he broadened his musical tastes beyond classic rock, exploring genres such as Britpop, grunge, and Nu Metal, and later delving into punk, thrash, and even mellow acoustic music. His enduring love for guitar-driven music is what drew him to metal, a genre he appreciates for its dynamic contrast between fast, heavy sections and slower, even classical, passages. His father also introduced him to playing guitar as a teenager. Despite his focus wavering at times over the years, he always kept an acoustic guitar nearby to play on. The lockdown served as a catalyst, sparking a renewed dedication to practice and a desire to play with others. This led to him joining a hard rock/stoner band for a couple of years before finding his home with Vantorium. He has been playing with Vantorium since March 2025 and is excited about the band's future and the prospect of performing live.
Antonio - bassist
Born in the South of Italy, he moved to the UK in 2011 in search of new adventures. From a young age he discovered a love and passion for music and mainly heavy metal. The first metal album he owned was from legendary Iron Maiden - Killers, and Death - Human where Antonio discovered my second passion: bass guitars, and a love for extreme music including death metal. Since then it’s like a big door has been slowly opening and every day he is learning something new about bass technique and music style. The main bass players that influenced him are, of course, Steve Harris, also Steve DiGiorgio, Alex Webster, Joey DeMaio, Geddy Lee, Eddie Jackson, Rudy Sarzo too mention only a few. He contacted Jared, lead guitarist of Vantorium in early August 2025 as they were looking for a bass player. Antonio fell in love with the sound of the band’s music… …and here he is, the next step of my metal journey continues with Vantorium
Jarek - drummer
Born in South-West Poland, he grew up surrounded by the Sudetes mountain range, full of forests, caves, and mountain creeks. The interest in heavy music developed in childhood, raised on bands such as Slayer, Sepultura, and Deicide, and he gradually merged into different genres such as hardcore punk and the nu metal. Love for drumming came from pragmatic need: he wanted to start a band but nobody nearby played drums so he decided to be the guy. His drumming inspiration came from legends such as Dave Lombardo, Joey Jordison, and Pete Sandoval with respect to the classics such as John Bonham, Bill Ward or Buddy Rich. During his music adventure, he played in Various bands in Poland and in the UK where he moved in 2013. In Jan 2026 Jarek sit behind the drumkit in Vantorium. The rest was history…
