Profile Information

I am the following; a: Band

Style of Prog: Progressive Rock, Italian Prog Rock, Progressive Metal, Crossover Prog

Biography: Some years ago Francesco Lombardo and Michele Panepinto decided to undertake a path of musical growth who would soon bring them to their first self-production. The result of this decision is the band Vitriol, which soon involved Gianluca Pappalardo, Pierangelo Carvello and Alessandro Sanfilippo. These musicians has contributed, thanks to their professional influences, to enrich the style of the new band, inspired to a Progressive genre which is modern but has also a feeling for the musical experiences of the 70’s historical bands.

The name of the project has inspired their first EP which is a concept album. Vitriol infact is the acronym of one of the most famous mottoes of Renaissance alchemy: “Visita Interiora Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultam Lapidem” (Enter the bowels of the Earth and, through your purification, you will find the hidden stone). It is a metaphor representing the path of the Man inside his own Ego in order to finally find the philosophical Truth.
In the same way, the main character of the story, called Knowledge, quests for his beloved, Truth; he reaches to destination after a rash of pitfalls and after meeting some allegorical characters (such as Faith and Insanity) but he’s also wrong-footed by the words of his beloved.
The double meaning of the term “vitriol” (corrosive chemical element and acronym of the renaissance motto) can describe well the essence of the band, constantly hanging in the balance between its aggressive component and its introspective/reflective one.

Once the first work of the band is handed out it collects immediately a lot of good reviews by the main alternative/metal magazines in both paper and digital output: it is considered the best Demo of the month on the November issue of Metal Maniac (one of the most important magazine in Italy) and gets an average mark of 8/10 in almost all the most famous Italian and international webzines, such as MetalWave, UsaProgressiveMusic, Unprogged, Rock Hard, TrueMetal, Metallo Italiano, Eutk, NovaMuzique and many others.

At present, the band has been updating its own myspace and website and has been featuring on the main music channels of the web. Vitriol have also published a promo video on Youtube and have created a newsletter with hundreds of members.
The members of the band are getting to grips with new ideas for the next album which will be, as usual, the result of their blood and sweat.

Influences or Favorite Bands: Pain of Salvation, Dream Theater, Tool
