Italian Prog Metal Band Vitriol Announce New Guitarist

Time for a new update from our headquarters…

Months ago, our guitar player Fausto De Bellis decided to quit the band for personal reasons.

 

 

Today, after careful considerations, we’re proud to announce the name of our new guitar guy: MICHELE DI LAURO.

Michele is a great musician (check him out with his other band Minraud) but most of all he is a long-time friend, a special person with a unique energy that will surely make a difference. We are honored he accepted our proposal to join the band and we can’t wait to share with you something new with him on guitars.

Michele’s entrance is the first step of a new path that will lead us to our next full-length release and back to intense live activity.
We will update you over the next days about this, and we will try to amaze you with some more surprises from “Into the silence I sink”, a record we want to be heard again with the addition of some interesting details, according to our vision.

Stay tuned!

ITA:

Alcuni mesi fa Fausto De Bellis ha deciso di lasciare la band per motivi personali.

Oggi, dopo un periodo di riflessione, i Vitriol danno il benvenuto a Michele Di Lauro alla chitarra. Michele è un grande musicista (ascoltatelo nella sua band Minraud) ma soprattutto un grande amico di lungo corso, una persona speciale dotata di un’energia unica che, siamo sicuri, farà la differenza. Siamo davvero onorati che abbia accettato la nostra proposta di entrare a far parte della band e non vediamo l’ora di farvi ascoltare qualcosa di nuovo con lui alla chitarra.

L’ingresso di Michele è il primo passo di un nuovo sentiero che ci condurrà all’uscita del nostro nuovo album e alla ripresa dell’attività live. Nei prossimi giorni cercheremo di darvi degli aggiornamenti, ma vorremmo anche provare a stupirvi con alcune sorprese tratte da “Into The Silence I Sink”, un album che desideriamo farvi ascoltare ancora con attenzione aggiungendo dei dettagli, a nostro parere, interessanti.

Stay tuned!

Vitriol’s criticaly acclaimed album Into The Silence I Sink was released in 2012

ProgStock 2018 Sizzle Reel:

Italian progressive rock band Karmamoi is confirmed to appear at RoSFest 201

Karmamoi was formed 10 years ago and released its debut album back in 2011. As with many bands, Karmamoi has struggled to hold on to a stable-line up over the years, which has somewhat halted band development. However, the creative core of the band, drummer Daniele Giovannoni, and guitarist Alex Massari, has remained stable and constant elements throughout the years. These days the band is finalizing material for its fourth studio album “The Day Is Done,” which is scheduled for release in the fall season of 2018.
Karmamoi has developed their style within a foundation that incorporates later day Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree, and have then expanded the borders of that framework somewhat. Modern progressive rock with eclectic intent – that remains accessible and compelling.

We enjoy booking bands that explore progressive rock in a contemporary manner at RoSFest and are certain that Karmamoi will easily earn themselves plenty of new fans at RoSfest 2019.

RoSfest 2019 will take place on May 3rd through 5th 2019 at the Sarasota Opera House, Florida. The final line-up and schedule for the festival are still TBA. Confirmed bands to appear so far are Riverside, Karmamoi.

Karmamoi Lineup:
Daniele Giovannoni – Drummer
Alex Massari – Guitarist
Alessandro Cefali
Sara Rinaldi – Lead Vocals

Modern Art Rock Band “Jack and the Jukebox” Release “Verne’s Jewel” A Unique New Music Video.

Rome, NY:
NY Art Rockers Jack and the Jukebox just released their official music video, drawing on the talents of a veritable host of artists, actors, poets, freethinkers, nihilists, and libertines. Verne’s Jewels is Jack and the Jukebox’s first single from the upcoming sophomore album.

The band is more than a little cagey about the meaning of the song and they pointed out that art must be interpreted by the creativity of the viewer. There are a few hints that it might have been inspired by 20,000 Leagues under the Sea. The tumultuous battle of archetypes within seems to be a mythical clarion to greater inspiration and poesis on the part of the viewers.  The subliminals seem intended to sell popcorn. (Just Kidding).
