The album develops into seven tracks that represent, even at a textual level, a sound path starting from very intense atmospheres and flowing into a milder close: a journey amid lights and shadows, good and evil, past and present all transfigured in the exchanges between a father and his son, led by a narrator into the interior journey within themselves.
The sound voyage of the boys from Alessandria starts in 2001 with the first steps towards the joining of their fondness in the metal music in its different expressions, from classic to progressive, genre their first compositions are oriented to.
“It wasn’t easy joining all the different compositive drives of those days together “, states Gigi Andreone, bass player of the band, going back with his memories to his first sessions with Federico Pennazzato (drums), Gianmaria Saddi (guitar) and Antonio Agate (keyboards), which were characterized from the very beginning by the will to unite harmonically their different background.
After a reorganization as Antonio left the band, their musical route became more complete with the arrival of Manuel Candiotto on vocals. Their ideas materialized in late 2005 with their first EP “A New Dimension” , well acclaimed by the critics.
This was followed up by an intense live and rehearsal activity, about which the band says “It has been a very exciting period, pushed by the good reviews and feedbacks received by our first EP we decided to mix our progressive soul with a more direct sound and more complex lyrics”. Soon afterwards, the arrival of Gabriele Ciaccia on keyboards overlaps with the beginning of the work on their first full length album.
These sessions give birth to a promo cd which anticipates the album that pushes the band to warm up the engines for the making of “Symmetrical”.
Recorded and produced by Gianmaria and Gigi in the band’s own studio, the record has been mixed at Thin Ice Studios – Surrey, UK by Threshold’s guitarist and great sound engineer Karl Groom (renowned for his work with bands like Yes and Dragonforce) and mastered in Milan, Italy by Alberto Cutolo at Massive Art Studios. The artwork was released by Abstrata Studios , Brazil and realized by the genius of Gustavo Sazes (still acclaimed for his work with acts like Kamelot, Angra, Lauren Harris, Archenemy).
Since November 2010 the band has started a strong collaboration with the famous Italian label Scarlet Records that will lead them to the release at the beginning of 2011 of their awaited debut “Symmetrical”.
