I've just been listening to a few brilliant tracks from the Kalevala 3CD set from Finland and which included a rather long song from a band called Leviathan who I understand are from Italy.
Does anyone know much about this band and whether they are still active?
Thanks for any info you might have.
Cheers,

I do not know the italian band named Leviathan. I know the U.S, band Leviathan (very good one shot band a la deep purple-first mood that released their album in 1974).
I'll check it out for the other band from my own country.

| Leviathan is an absurdly common band name. I associate it with the US black metal band (who incidentally have nothing to do with prog). but the Italian one is listed on our site with a few insightful reviews, so I would advise checking that out. |

Yeah, it can be a bit confusing, as too many leviathans around lately...
However I just recently listened to one called "Leviathan - Riddles Questions Poetry & Outrage" 1996 - I think this album is lsited here in PA. I did not like it too much - standard "prog"-metal - 2 stars, maybe, in my rating, but if you are fan of metal, it can suit your tastes much better; at least my friends, who are into metal stuff, spoke quite highly about it. ------------- carefulwiththataxe |

Seeing the 3 CD set this track was lifted from was from Finland, I doubt if it can be anything other than the Italian band who have released 3 albums from the 90's. It's Neo but it's extremely good Neo and I need to find some more of this.
I have a mate who has the original of this so I can ask him for some more details. My copy is only a promo review version with no artwork.
Thanks anyway.

Why is this name so common?! What does it even mean ------------- I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t. -Stone Beard |

It's some biblical monsters - a huge sea dragon or something similar that tried to destroy the world but then Jesus or Petrus came and kicked his ass.
