Unified Past Confirmed For The 2017 RoSfest

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

We’re excited to announce that veteran US band Unified Past will be the second band to play on Saturday at ROSfest 2017.

This New York-based band formed in 1998, with roots going back to early 
1990′s band Labyrinth. Although the band was originally aligned towards a
 progressive metal-oriented sound with inspiration from bands like Rush,
 in the last few years their style has morphed due to a changing 
line-up. These days, veteran members Stephen Speelman (guitars, 
keyboards) and Victor Tassone (drums) have been joined by Dave Mickelson
 (bass) and Phil Naro (vocals).

Cue the
 band’s seventh album “Shifting the Equilibrium,” released on US label 
Melodic Revolution Records in 2015. The bite of progressive metal is 
still present, with traces of bands such as Rush and possibly even Dream
 Theater, but it’s now paired with sounds of a more vintage nature that 
could be compared to bands like Yes. With the excellent lead vocals of 
Phil Naro as the proverbial icing on the cake, “Shifting the 
Equilibrium” has been a true-to-life game changer for this band.

Unified
 Past is a veteran act that has transformed in the last couple years 
from relative obscurity into a group that could really be going places, 
and we’re sure that they are one of the bands that will make a really 
strong impression at RoSfest in 2017. We were surprised and amazed by 
their latest album, and we’re certain that this fantastic group will 
surprise and amaze us all on stage as well!
