Akron (Italian symphonic prog??)

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Akron is a...very strange progressive rock group from Italy. They play very untypical kind of symphonic rock mixed with doom(y) metal moments (for example strange vocals). Lots of Hammonds, string arrangements and opera-like vocals.

They recorded 2 albums:
La Signora Del Buio (1999)
Il Tempio Di Ferro (2000)

line-up of "Il Tempio Di Ferro " album:

Enio "Akron" Nicolini: Bass
Fabio Barraco: Keyboards, Piano
Eugenio Mucci: Vocals and Choirs
Gabriella Saia: Choirs
Lea Palmieri: Drums
Guests:
Antonio De Angelis: Hammond Organ 
Gabriele Di Monte: Hammond Organ

	This appears to be an easy add for us, modern day doom-RPI in the Jacula tradition. Ozzy Tom, are you familiar enough with the group to write us a short Bio? If not, can you send whatever Bio related facts are present in the CD booklets, to help us cobble a Bio together? Thank you
