History

Violadores del Verso was started in 1997 in Zaragoza, Spain [1] by David Gilaberte (Lírico), Sergio Rodriguez (Sho-Hai/Hate), Rubén Cuevas (R de Rumba) and brothers Javier (Kase.O) and Sergio Ibarra (Brutal). [2]

They released their first LP Genios in 1999. In 2001 they released two further albums as Doble V, [1] a name they used until asked to desist to avoid association with Doble V whisky, a trademark owned by the Pernod Ricard drinks concern. In 2006, they released their fourth LP Vivir para contarlo, which went gold after ten days. [3] In 2007 the group won the regional award for Spain in the MTV Europe Music Awards. [4]

The group has been on hiatus since 2010 while its members pursue solo projects. [5] [6] The group's last concert before the pause was aired in August 2011 as a 3D transmission by national TV broadcaster Televisión Española (TVE), to pilot of the 3D technology involved. [7]

In 2022, the group rejoined to record the track Únicos that appeared on Sho-Hai's solo album Polvo.
