10) Vega is a Melodic Rock band featuring former Kick vocalist Nick Workman and guitarist Marcus Thurston. They released “Battlelines” , their eight studio album overall, in 2023.
11) VEGA were one of several Andalusian and Spanish bands who flourished in the mid- to late seventies by making music that blended flamenco, folk and jazz at times with English progressive tendencies, often resulting in a colorful and rich fusion sound. Acts like TRIANA, CAI, MEZQUITA and AZAHAR would establish themselves as the preeminent players on these scenes, along with the more contemporary counterparts like LOS CANARIOS and ALAMEDA.
12) VEGA was a German hip-hop duo that released the single Ich chille in 1999.
In this vein VEGA combined Andalusian instrumentation (and sometimes traditional arrangements) with a less well-defined progressive bent, emphasizing instead a heavy flamenco influence and the showcased guitar work of band leader Tómas Vega. Vega had been a member of the earlier Spanish band LOS GRIMMS, and would also, along with bandmate Jorge Pardo, lend his name to a couple DOLORES (Pedro Ruy Blas) records in the same timeframe.
The group released three albums in three years, each accompanied by one single. The first two are heavily imbued with flamenco-driven fusion compositions, while the final release 'Sol de Oscuridad' seemed to be more intended as an attempt at commercial success with vocals and repetitive, less original arrangements. The band was already in its death throes by the time the third album released.
VEGA were a minor player in an ample line of Spanish and Andalusian prog bands of the seventies and eighties. While their contributions don't generally rank among the greatest acts of that segment, they are worthy of recognition and inclusion in these ProgAcrhives.

13) VEGA is a three-piece heavy stoner rock band hailing from the 'VEGA' star. They traveled the interstellar star-ways of the multiverse in their dark matter-fueled VEGA-van, intent on spreading their riff to passing planets. Lights years into their journey they happened upon a planet that caught their attention: this planet was unlike any of the other desolate and in some cases, down right primitive planets they had visited since they started their galactic tour. This planet was Earth and they found it akin to their homeland; such as it was cut from the same great cosmic cake as VEGA. It had majestic mountains, vast oceans, extreme deserts, beautiful flowered plains, and industrialized modern cities. All Earth's inhabitants, from intelligent lifeforms to basic single-celled organisms, were identical to VEGA-ns and lived indistinguishable lifestyles and had similar habits to the people of their home-star. Earth even had music: just like VEGA. VEGA decided to stay on this strangely familiar, yet completely foreign sister-planet and lay down their sweet-star riffs as ambassadors to their beloved VEGA.

Dem Himmel so nah
Vega Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nein, sag ihnen ich hab Berge erklommen
Und erzähl Ihnen, auf der Fährte zur Sonne,
hab ich Löwen bekämpft, gegen Bären gewonnen
Bin allein durch die Wälder gewandelt
Dem Himmel so nah wie die Felsen der Anden
Geh und sag ich bin durch Stürme gerannt
Sag ihnen keiner von euch führt diesen Mann
aus einer Zeit in der die Hoffnung so groß war
ich steh seit zwei Jahren besoffen vorm Thronsaal
Schwanz in der Linken, Jacky in der rechten Hand
und schrei "du Schlampe mach das Tor auf wenn du kämpfen kannst"
Und wie jeden Abend übelst enttäuscht jetzt
Keiner macht die Tür auf, typisch für Deutschrap
Aber Schwäche zeigen ist tödlich wo ich wohne
ich bin immer noch der König ohne Krone
und ihr solltet euch verbarrikadieren
Top 5 ich schieß Blitze auf die anderen 4
Und ihr redet nur von Kohle und Biz
is okay aber oben bin ich, aber oben bin ich
und es stimmt ich hab Meere durchschwommen
auf der Fährte zur Sonne Berge erklommen
Und ihr redet nur von Kohle und Biz
is okay aber oben bin ich, aber oben bin ich
Sag den Jungs ich bin durch Flammen gelaufen
Sag ihnen ich schaute den Schlangen ins Auge
Und erzähl ihn auf dem Pfad richtung Traum
hat der Staat mich beklaut doch ich gab mich nicht auf
Bin gefallen auf der Suche nach Geld
der Hölle so nah war, wie Lucifer selbst
Geh und sag ich stand im Regen allein
sag ihnen keine von euch redet mir rein
ich bin wieder zurück
und ich nehm mit was mir gehört, geh beiseite
Wenn ich reinkomm, dreh dich weg, rede leise
es ist mies wenn ich spucke
komm ich, hep und du machst nie wieder Mucke
Du wirst nie wieder mucken
euer Hip-Hop ist Tschüss
holt euch Hilfe aber bitte nicht mich, aber bitte nicht mich
denn ich bin grade auf dem Weg in richtung ganz oben
Mädels die den Schwanz blowen und da könnt ihr nicht mit
2x und ihr solltet euch verbarrikadieren
Top 5 ich schieß Blitze auf die anderen 4
Und ihr redet nur von Kohle und Biz
is okay aber oben bin ich, aber oben bin ich
und es stimmt ich hab Meere durchschwommen
auf der Fährte zur Sonne Berge erklommen
Und ihr redet nur von Kohle und Biz
is okay aber oben bin ich, aber oben bin ich
The lyrics of the song Dem Himmel so nah by Vega tell the story of a man who has overcome great challenges and difficulties to become successful, and who now claims his place at the top of the music industry. He uses vivid imagery to describe his struggles, such as swimming through seas and climbing mountains, and he asserts his dominance over his competitors by boasting that he has defeated lions and bears. Despite his past hardships, he remains strong and defiant, refusing to be brought down by his enemies or by those who underestimate him. He asserts his power and his right to success, challenging anyone who would stand in his way.
Throughout the song, Vega portrays himself as a warrior, a conqueror, and a king, who has fought his way to the top of his field. He takes pride in his accomplishments, and he is not afraid to assert his dominance over his rivals. He sees himself as a force to be reckoned with, and he is determined to maintain his position of power. At the same time, however, he is also aware of the fragility of his success, and the need to remain vigilant and always ready to fight. He acknowledges the reality of the music industry as a cut-throat business, in which weakness can lead to downfall. He is always on the lookout for threats, and he is ready to defend himself and his position at all times.
