Progressive rock, also known as prog rock or prog, is a rock music subgenre that originated in the United Kingdom, with further developments in Germany, Italy, and France, throughout the mid-to-late 1960s and 1970s. It developed from psychedelic rock and originated, similarly to art rock, as an attempt to give greater artistic weight and credibility to rock music.
“It is the most ambitious album we’ve attempted yet” says Tillison, “our first ever full on concept album which is also our deepest foray into the world of classical/orchestral music that we’ve hinted at before in songs like “Titanic Calls Carpathia”, “The Full Gamut” and “In Earnest” It’s great to know we’ll be staying with the company that’s done us so much good over the years, we need their belief as much as ever.”

A German progressive pop-rock band on the rise. After two EP’s (of which the first under the name Pink Mercury, the second one as Eyevory) could eventually compete with “Euphobia” in the second half of 2012, a first full-time album. To additional reasons for increased satisfaction with one’s situation include the facts that “Euphobia” was realized without external producers, and that the work could be published in April 2013 on CD worldwide. The finishing touches were the recordings by Joachim “Eroc” Ehrig. Even in March 2013 completed Eyevory as part of “A Night of Symphonic Prog Rock” concert with the accompaniment of an orchestra.
Marcello Marinone, Paolo «Ske» Botta and Francesco Zago, after a successful collaboration in Yugen and Ske, propose a new blend of their musical attitudes. The result is an ominous, fascinating sound melting vintage keyboards, powerful guitars and voice, besides ethereal and autumn nuances, supported by a compelling rhythmic drive.
