Vertiz formed in Lima, Peru in 1994 with Jean Paul Strauss on vocals, Ricardo Wiesse on guitar, Mauricio Mosto on bass, and Luis Gil on drums. They released their debut album 'Ataque de Realidad' the following year. The band's lineup saw some changes over time, with Carlos 'Pocho' Prieto joining as a second guitarist in 1996 and keyboardist Rony Campos coming aboard in 2004.
Their music drew from rock, metal, and Latin American folk traditions, with songs like 'Cena' and 'O Selvagem' among their notable tracks.
Vertiz put out several albums including 'Corazón de Acero' and 'Infierno' after their debut. They remained active into the 2000s with Strauss, Wiesse, Mosto, and Gil staying at the core through various lineup adjustments.
