Out now on Musea Records, Undercover is the debut album of a band consisting of Marco Bernard, Kimmo Porsti and Steve Unruh.

Label description:

THE SAMURAI OF PROG is a new group, named after Marco BERNARD's 
nickname, an Italian settled in Finland. Obviously not having enough of 
being the editor of the Colossus fanzine, and regularly publishing, with
 the help of the Musea label, numerous projects paying a tribute to 
Progressive rock in all its incarnations, our man took his bass to 
perform a handful of mythical pieces: "The Lamia" (GENESIS), "Starship 
Troopers" (YES), "World Of Adventures" (THE FLOWER KINGS), "Assassing" 
(MARILLION), "Gravita 9.81" (ARTI + MESTIERI), "Dogs" (PINK FLOYD)... A 
caprice ? Far away from it, since Marco BERNARD has been part of the 
Italian band ELEKTROSHOCK at the end of the Seventies. Let's also note 
that THE SAMURAI OF PROG is a real band, completed by drummer Kimmo 
PORSTI (MIST SEASON) and singer Steve UNRUH. Some renowned musicians 
also guested on "Undercover" (Musea, 2011), such as Roine STOLT (THE 
FLOWER KINGS), David MYERS (THE MUSICAL BOX) or Michael MANRING 
(ATTENTION DEFICIT). To conclude, the album ends up with four 
compositions originally played by ELEKTROSHOCK, here covered by RESISTOR
 (USA), Alfio COSTA & Guglielmo MARIOTTI (Italy), ROZ VITALIS 
(Russia) and CONTRARIAN (USA). What else ?
