LUCA is an Italian solo project in the Progressive Metal/Djent genre, formed by guitarist and bassist Luca Negro (Temperance).
The initial idea for the project was conceived during the pandemic, a long period of forced absence from the live scene, which allowed Luca to create his first ideas and gradually accumulate material with a distinct style from all his other musical projects.
Azalea is the debut EP, released on July 2, 2024. In this work, LUCA presents himself not only as a bassist but also, for the first time, as a guitarist.
The compositions of Azalea are deeply influenced by the sound of bands and artists such as Periphery, Plini, Tesseract & Liquid Tension Experiment. In these five tracks, LUCA demonstrates his ease with complex guitar and bass rhythms, as well as intricate lead guitar lines, showcasing profound versatility in instrumental performance and remarkable compositional skills.
LUCA manages to blend the intricate polyrhythms typical of Djent with the sophisticated melodies of Modern Fusion, creating a unique sonic experience that captures the listener's attention. Each composition is a dynamic journey, rich in rhythmic and harmonic variations, reflecting his ability to experiment and innovate within the genre.
His skill in seamlessly switching between instruments and mastering different musical styles makes each performance an example of exceptional technical competence and artistic expressiveness. LUCA doesn't just play the music; he lives it, conveying emotions and stories through every note and chord.
LUCA is actively involved in the live music scene, performing in local and international concerts. Particularly noteworthy is his role in Temperance, where he is currently promoting their latest release, Hermitage - Daruma’s Eyes Pt. II.
