There are at least three artists with the name [The] Web. Web is mainly a Eurodance artist (Pierluigi Giombini) that released several singles in the late 90s and early 00s. For metal bands see W.E.B. 1. Takuya Sugimoto aka Web who began recording Detroit Techno, Chicago House, Electro and Electronica around 1993. 2. [The] Web is a Jazzrock / Fusion band from the UK see The Web. 3. Web is a Portugese thrash metal act. 1. Takuya Sugimoto aka Web while an art student in Osaka around 1993 began recording Detroit Techno, Chicago House, Electro and Electronica. He was helped by Ken Inaoka of Syzygy records, one of the first independent techno record labels in Japan, by releasing his first productions. Takuya then continued to release under several aliases, such as COLOGNe, Dja-zz, Gana, Ura Ura and Sammansa. 2. The Web's first album "Fully Interlocking" was released in 1968, with John L. Watson as vocalist. Watson was also present on the second album "Theraphosi Blondi" (1970), but left before their third and last work "I Spider" (1970). This time, the new band member Dave Lawson, who brought also some musical changes (keyboards, more progressive elements), did the vocals. After "I Spider", the band changed their name to "Samurai". 3. Web formed in 1986. At that time, a pair of roadies of the most known Portuguese metal band Tarantula, felt the need to create something where they could invest their passion. So, David Duarte and Victor Matos began gathering the right people to ease the search for a unique sound. However, the lack of people interested in taking part in an heavy metal project made the process harder than expected and the line-ups were constantly changing. This scenario continued to inflate by several drawbacks like compulsory military service and the severe illness of singer David Duarte which made him leave the band, the music and later our presence. The remaining man Victor Matos, united with Fernando Martins since 1994, continued to input new ideas to fulfill their goals. Since October 1997, with Pedro Soares joining the band on drums and the entry of guitarist Filipe Ferreira later in 2005, made this the longer line up since many years.
