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.

REPLOSION – Resting Place Of Illusion 2012

Now!

On the ground italicize flag of U.S. school progressive metal (Dream Theater, Symphony X) seems to have taken root in a marked … only in the last period on our virtual desk will be landed at least ten discs falling within this genre! Futile statistics aside, also present here Replosion, quintet led by brothers Galletto (guitar and drums respectively), and orbital areas of Mantua in Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia, may well be classified in the chaos of the kind mentioned above. What we believe can (and will increasingly) to this interesting group to emerge from the standard of the genre is a seemingly innate propensity to compose melodies well-aimed, that softened the difficulty and the high technical content of the songs and bring the proposal at levels more user friendly, allowing the band to avoid the trap of proposing mere exercises in style and technique. The latter is certainly present in all the work (the borrower guitarwork strongly the lesson of Romeo of Symphony X, blended with a drumming school Portnoy, amply demonstrate), but fortunately is not the only goal of the band, which seeks to move away from merely trying to put quotations in the overall sound a bit ‘of sound speed and strength drawn from the power metal (“Push Me Down”), and also some shots of elegant rock settantiano, which help to soften the

In the late 1990s our formation had just been changed and we were getting through a period difficult to interpreter: the outcomes of the 1996 album “Distances” were really disappointing and Andrea Costanza, who had been Court’s backbone and core creative soul up to then, left the band leaving a vacancy hard to be filled in again. So Andrea Balliano “Boll” was recruited as rhythmic guitarist, he has always been a friend of ours and we were thus able to promote “Distances”” live also thanks to George Merk as lead guitarist. We could eventually feature the future of a new studio recording album . Pieces like: Limbo, Wet of Sky,Walking and Talking and Do you think we have time? (first version of Sun Beyond Time), which would then be included in “Frost of Watermelon, bore to light in that period and were the result of a joint creation between Balliano and Nodari.
