This shocking album once again analyses the invisible forces, and demonic and hysteric possessions. The band's new member, Rexanthony, plays keyboards, piano, variuos synthesizers, sets drum machines lines and arranges. 'Hystero Demonopathy' exudes a series of no rational blue-black visions, sometimes heavenly, sometimes terrifying. Musically 'Hystero Demonopathy' is a multisound-multistyles of concentrate fusion: gothic, classic, post-classic, dark, doom, metal, impressionist, progressive, post-progressive, after-rock.... with micro electronic inventions and perseverant events.

G.C. Neri : Logos

CD magic pack version. Logos is the debut album of G.C. Neri from Genoa; it was composed as a concept album and portrays the spiritual travel of the artist who also played all the instruments but the drums performed by Roberto Margliano.It's a fascinating spiritual travel planned by G.C. Neri, an artist who has always believed that music is the last voice from the divine, a message capable to gift some relief to our poor souls which sublimates itself as a sort of sonic prayer.Logos is also a tribute to the roots which moulded the artistic shaping of G.C. Neri, to those artists that helped him to become what he is now, from Led Zeppelin's hard blues to the romanticism of Genesis, from the symphonic attitude of ELP and Yes to the nervy rhythms of King Crimson, from the melodies of Le Orme , PFM and Osanna to the psychedelic tunes of Gong. At last Logos wants to be a path through tradition, the will to feel and create music according to the aesthetic and the sounds of the Seventies.

Gleemen : Dove vanna le stelle quando viene giorno?

The legendary band from Genova return with a new album. A psychedelic prog journey through a world of fables and dreams. For all Beatles, Garybaldi and Hendrix lovers. Dedicated to Bambi Fossati.

Goad : In the house of the dark shining...

...Dreams". It is sophisticated progressive rock, taking a lot from symphonic rock (early King Crimson, Genesis) and from evolved hard rock (Rush, Triumph). In 2004 they participated in the much-anticipated Tribute to King Crimson, edited by Mellow with the collaboration of other Italian labels. Goad chose Epitaph, one of the most beautiful pieces from Robert Fripps band, whose symphonic panoply has always been a reference for Rossi and the group. The cover of Have You Heard - The Voyage by The Moody Blues is also made and would appear soon after on the tribute CD organized by Mellow Records. With great musicians like Gianfranco Dini, first French horn of Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Leonardo Tini, Nicola Di Staso, former Frank Zappa band member from the RAI orchestra, the album The Wood - Dedicated to H.P. Lovecraft was recorded. Mellow Records put it out in 2006. Toward the end of 2005, the group met Black Widow Records, possibly the most "alchemical" label in Italy, if not on the whole planet. An atmosphere was established between the musicians and the company that brought them quickly to the decision that they should work on some pieces from Dark Virgin. They would take those most in keeping with the style of the label, re-arrange them, modify them, record some new ones, and face the difficult task of testing themselves with a couple of absolute masterpieces like Killer by VDGG and 21st Century Schizoid Man by King Crimson. Goad, with fresh enthusiasm, manage to quickly write a new work entitled In the House of the Dark Shining Dreams, for which they prepared a new graphic look. Musically, the characteristics of the group remain the same, but this time the general sound seems substantial and energetic. There are sounds and atmospheres with no tempo, alive with genial lucidity they alternate between explosions of creative sound and moments of profound gothic romanticism. A new era for GOAD.

Goblin Rebirth : Alive (2lp)

Two members who played on various Goblin related albums as farback as in the mid-seventies, Fabio Pignatelli (bass) and Agostino Marangolo (drums), are joined by guitarist Giacomo Anselmi as well as keyboard players Aidan Zammit and Danilo Cherni. This band carries on in the fine tradition of Goblin's past and present. This is the entire recording of the 2011 concert in Rome, featuring all the famous and classic Goblin-hits, plus some songs that never were played live before, including 'Buio Omega', 'Connexion', 'La Chiesa', 'Death Dies', 'Witch' and 'Le Cascate Di Viridiana'.

Hunka Munka : Foreste interstellari

Keyboard player Roberto Carlotto from Varese, whose nickname was Hunka Munka, began playing since his childhood, though his musical career was seriously compromised by an aircraft accident that caused him some heavy injuries. His beginnings as a professional musician took him to play in England, Germany and Switzerland, where he even had the chance of supporting such artists like Rod Stewart and Colosseum. In Italy he had previously played with Big 66, I Cuccioli and later with Ivan Graziani (Anonima Sound 1970), before entering a solo career starting with a single in 1971. As a solo artist, Carlotto was easily recognized by his very good technical quality and the high level of his equipment, that included an incredible number of different keyboards and even the early examples of tape drum machines. His only solo album, 'Dedicato A Giovanna G.', with its outrageous cover, is a soft-prog album, obviously dominated by Hunka's keyboards (especially his self-customized Hammond organ) and odd tremolo voice resembling Demis Roussos or Bee Gees. Among the backing musicians were drummer Nunzio "Cucciolo" Favia from Osage Tribe and guitarist Ivan Graziani.After the album release Carlotto joined Dik Dik in 1973, again with drummer Cucciolo playing with him too later as Carlotto & Cucciolo. He has also presumably released an electronic album in 1984, 'Promise Of Love' (Atlantide AMX 12003), under the name Karl Otto. In 2011 Roberto Carlotto joined the reformed Analogy playing with them many concerts. In the early 2000s Roberto Carlotto started a collaboration with keyboardist Joey Mauro, talented user and repairer of vintage keyboards; together they revitalized the Hunka Munka name... and finally they released an inspired album called 'Foreste Interstellari' in which Carlotto writes lyrics, plays keyboards and sings lead. Joey Mauro plays keyboards as well and writes music together with Mr. Hunka Munka.

Il Cerchio D'Oro : Pangea e le tre lune

The 2023 album by this legendary Italian prog band is a concept album about Pangea. And also this time the guests are of great level and history such as Ricky Belloni (electric guitar - New Idea, New Trolls), Donald Lax (violin - Quella Vecchia Locanda), Tolo Marton (electric guitar - Le Orme). The cover was designed by Armando Mancini (creator in the '70s of covers for Italian prog bands such as Quella Vecchia Locanda, The Trip, Rovescio Della Medaglia, Raccomandata Ricevuta Di Ritorno and many others.

Il Cerchio D'Oro : Il fuoco sotto la cenere

Il Segno Del Comando : L'incanto dello zero

The fourth album by this dark prog band from Italy is a concept album born from a collaboration between the band and author Cristian Raimondi. Despite the complexity of the arrangements, the band retains its typical horror/soundtrack-like sound, which has always been its mark. Guest appearances by Paul Nasch (Danse Society), Maethelyah (Blooding Mask, Danse Society) and Luca Scherani (Coscienza Di Zeno, Hostonaten).

Il Segno Del Comando : Il segno del comando

Repress! Plunge into the early '70s occult TV movies and you'll find the nature of Il Segno Del Comando from a past that becomes a future. This excellent band is very much inspired by the sounds of early '70s Italian bands like Goblin and Jacula.

Ingranaggi Della Valle : Warm spaced blue

The second album by the Italian progressive rock band features a slightly darker sound and there also are traces of jazz. Expect an adventurous blend of traditional instruments (including guitars, violin, mellotron and Hammond) and 'more modern' ingredients s.a. drum machines.

Jacula : Pre viam (magipack)

MAGIPACK VERSION. Esoterically Pre Viam (an anagram of Vampire as the previous Per Viam) is focused on the sadness, the melancholy and the suicidal tendency of the protagonist portrayed through seven fantastic musical paintings where the unfailing Gibson SG of the author unveils the face of the most authentic progressive rock, where the acoustic guitar phrasing gives a link with the past, where the epic evocative world of the big keyboards is absolutely unique, where the perfectionist drumming ranges from electro-next to rock. The concept created by Antonio Bartoccetti is is a spine-chilling release, a perseverant concentrate of killing brainstorming and also a genial mixture of conflicting adjectives aimed to the mystical-theological-esoterical-existential reflection of the listener. A fusion created by a superior mind with metal core touches very loved by the younger generations, with a parabiblical, mystical, darkly magic sound obviously progressive with esoterical musical inventions such as the absolutely new perseverant sound and a black queen who sings in an anomalous way her disharmonic melody. Pre viam promises it won't miss a beat: catacombal groove, cryptic rhythm guitars, unique chanting of the Lady in Black, aristocratic, noble, dreaming atmospheres and surely great visions...

Le Orme : Live '70's -2lp+10"ep-

Malombra : Our lady of the bones

2ND album by this Italian HEAVY PROGRESSIVE rock band tracing the footsteps of their early 70's ancestors. Sorta like cross between BALLETTO DI BRONZO and HIGH TIDE. A mindtrip.

Malombra : T.r.e.s.

After a quarter of a century, one of the most important dark progressive Italian bands ever, is back creating nightmares and does it going back to the particular era when the original band was splitting up. Their third album was already entirely written but the project was shelved. Until now. Today those compositions come back to life as they have been completely recorded using the original lead track of the old pre-production. The result is Malombra at its best. The album showcases the usual visionary spirit and dark atmospheres. With moments full of tension followed by furious uptempos yet solemn parts. In addition to all that the band now can deliver a full powerful and dark sound that they couldn't achieve at the time. 'T.R.E.S.' is a homage to traditional Italian progressive rock together with a tribute to a certain mystery narrative. A record for all the enemies of the obvious.

Runaway Totem : Creators

'Creators' is the continuation of 'Multiversal Matter' by cosmic prog band Runaway Totem.Part 1: 'CREATORS': The song 'Viators' refers to alien races that undertake an intergalactic journey to land on earth. 'Advent Deus' is the arrival of these alien forms. These forms which are not of earthly matter but vibrate at higher frequencies are seen as Gods.

The people of Lemuria are ancient and technologically advanced and the music is reminiscent of those days.Part 2: 'RED STAR': 'The Gate Of Orion' is the subsequent coming of other alien travelers who depart from Orion. By opening portals they enter our world. 'Remembering Betelgeuse' is the alien memory of the music brought by the star of Betelgeuse. 'The Spiral' is the desire for genetic manipulation of aliens on Earth's populations, to create a slave. But another alien, pro life race intervenes in the aims of the first and manages to create the divine man, destroying the previous plan. 'Universal Union' is the new man connected to the primordial essence. This new man enters a dimension from which he started.

CD has new studio material and LIVE material including excellent LIVE version of VELVET FOGG track 'Yellow Cave Woman'.

Three Monks : Neogothic progressive toccatas

Three Monks are a unique pipe-organ focused band from Arezzo, formed around organist/composer Paolo Lazzeri. Lazzeri was a prog-rock organist in the early 1970s. His influences came from the progressive rock of King Crimson and Van der Graaf Generator. "Neogothic Progressive Toccatas" will truly be a one of a kind in your progressive rock collection. The project is centered around the incredible pipe organ playing of Paolo Lazzeri supported by a thundering bass/drums rhythm sections and little else. This album is a church organ purist's dream. The various tracks are inspired by baroque composers and stories of cathedrals and their huge, historic pipe organs: the liner notes give specific historical information into each track's inspiration, some human, some cathedrals and instruments. The music is incredibly heavy, vast, formal, and tinged with centuries of age. You feel as if you are walking into one of those centuries old European cathedrals and hearing the bombast of the ancient organ, yet it is swirled into often dizzying progressive rock pieces. It is right compared to the bombast of ELP, Areknames, Jacula, VDGG, and Il Balletto di Bronzo, but with 100% pipe organ rather than varying kinds of keys or synths, vocals, or guitar. Most of the music is in the heavy vein with eccentric and baroque aesthetics. As a bonus there is a Goblin cover of "Profondo Rosso," the main theme being quite faithful to the original but heavier. This is followed by a tribute variation of the same, the band calling the original "one of the most significant rock compositions for the pipe organ.Three Monks is a band who should be heard by Heavy Prog fans and fans of serious organ and classically influenced prog
