INFERNO

The album starts with the teathrical voice of Spitalieri, singing lyrics that to mother tongue italians seem a little bit embarassing. So a little disappointment at first, a disappointment that vanish immediately: the rest of the work is a majestic masterpiece, thanks especially to the keys of Olivieri. Based on the Dante's Inferno (a journey in Hell), the album features dark atmospheres, powerful singings, fine rhythm section. ELP influenced? Maybe a little, but this group had its own voice. A no miss for those who can't get enough of early '70 symphonic rock sound.
