Oberon - Retro Prog from Italy

The project Oberon started in autumn 2015, from the ashes of a previous prog trio (formed by Yuri Crescenzio on guitars; Alberto Baretta on Percussives ; and a bassist). The new project born under the pretext of creating music without any limit, takes influences from the hard stoner to the medieval folk, from the sixties psychedelia to the seventies Prog and Obscure Prog. Under the name Oberon (King of the fairies from the Shakespeare's comedy "A Midsummer Night's Dream") the duo (featuring Yuri on Electric and acoustic guitars, Bass, organ, synth, piano and effectes and Alberto on Percussives) record their first album "The Mountain of Fate" during March, September and October 2016 at Shaman's Recordings with the help of Filippo Lazzarin (which also mixed and mastered the album) and with the special guest Elena Dainese on vocals. The concept is based on the most famous greek myths, re-evaluated in a modern way: every feeling and every meaning from these stories revolves around the Mount Olympus, a symbol of extreme negativity (if it regarded as an obstacle) or great positivity (like a sort of liberation from all evil, once reached the top). It's a journey of meditation through issues such as greed, the search of the impossible, freedom, narcissism, hate, war, Spleen and many more induced by the nowadays society. Self produced, the band have chosen a dark old school mix to give a seventies touch to the songs.
