JUGGERNAUT

Juggernaut biography
The Italian band JUGGERNAUT centered in Rome, Italy, originally formed in 2006 as a progressive metal band complete with the vocalist Salvatore BLASI, Luigi FARINA and Matteo PALANDRI on guitars, Roberto CIPPITELLI on bass and Guido PENTA on drums. It was this line up that they released their debut album ".Where Mountains Walk" in 2009. However, by the time they released their 2nd album "Trama!" in 2014, they had changed their sound by losing the vocals to focus on a heavy instrumental sound that concentrated on an alternative and post metal style. JUGGERNAUT by this time had become a quartet and had replaced PALANDRI with Andrea CARLETTI on guitar and PENTA with Matteo D'AMICIS on drums, which is the current line-up as of their 2019 release "Neuroteque".

JUGGERNAUT plays a cinematic and melodic post-metal and sometimes experimental brand of progressive rock that emphasizes heavy riffing with hints of dark jazz with compostitions based off of building tension, suspense and release. Their music should appeal to fans of PELICAN, IL MURO DEL CANTO, PSYCHONAUT, CULT OF LUNA, RUSSIAN CIRCLES.
