Vega (1991-1992)

Vega was a mainly Italian demo group, formed by Filippetto after the death of Amaze Germany, probably around January 1991. Filippetto brought his diskmag "Freedom Crack" with him. Their first release was the intro "Official Plasma" [91], announcing the new group. Then followed in quick succession their first "Musicdisk" [91] and in march "Freedom Crack #5" [03/91]. Thanks to Helioth for help!
