IL SEGNO DEL COMANDO
Strange, I didn’t find
this band on PA. They released two albums on Black Widow Records...
From Il Segno del Comando
(1997)
From Der Golem (2002)

Hmmm, I noticed them on the Black Widow page myself, Andrea, and wondered if they were more of a metal band? I'm sure we'll look into it now!

Thanks Andrea! Guess they were overlooked. Listening now and I don't think they belong in Metal. Heavy or RPI? I agree with Michael, I think the RPI Team should have first dibs.

(rubbing hands in manic glee)Excellent!
Will give the Youtube clips a listen when I'm back home. Thanks for the tip-off, Andrea! Edited by Aussie-Byrd-Brother - May 14 2013 at 05:57 |

IL SEGNO DEL COMANDO IS BACK
Novembre 2013-
A 12 anni di distanza torna IL SEGNO DEL
COMANDO. Nuova formazione e nuovo album
per uno dei nomi più misteriosi ed affascinanti della musica rock genovese ed
italiana. In effetti il gruppo è stato inattivo fino al 2010 anno in cui, per
volontà della BWR e di Diego Banchero, riprende la via dello studio con un
ulteriore e importante cambiamento di line up (lo stesso Banchero si trova a
gestirne da solo la leadership dopo la rinuncia di Mercy ormai deciso a
continuare su altre strade artistiche). Il gruppo partecipa nello stesso anno ad
un tribute album dedicato alla band Pierrot Lunaire e pubblicato dalla vicentina
MP Records iniziando, subito dopo, i lavori di un nuovo album
“Il Volto
Verde”, concept che trae ispirazione dal
romanzo di Gustav Meyrink opera che, come è noto, rappresenta uno dei punti
cardine del testamento esoterico dello scrittore stesso. Il suddetto libro
descrive, tra l’altro, alcune tecniche relative al controllo del
pensiero che portano fino al raggiungimento del cosiddetto stato di “vuoto
mentale” come condizione sine qua non per mettersi in contatto con il cosiddetto
”Io Superiore” che, oltre a rappresentare una porta sull’inconscio, è in
connessione diretta con la “Mente Universale”. Lavoro molto articolato, l’LP il “Il Volto Verde”, vede
la partecipazione di ospiti illustri come Claudio Simonetti dei Goblin, Gianni
Leone del Balletto di Bronzo, Martin Grice dei Delirium, Freddy Delirio dei
DEATH SS, Paul Nash, Sophya Baccini e Maethelyiah che si sono avvicendati in
studio al fianco degli altri ottimi musicisti capitanati da Diego Banchero.
L’approccio compositivo prog-jazz rock-soundtrack-dark-sperimentale che ha
caratterizzato e distinto le composizioni dei primi 2 capitoli viene qui
ulteriormente sviluppato e radicato. L’opera è corredata da una copertina
dall’impatto a suo modo shoccante creata dall’artista Danilo Capua e viene
realizzato dalla Black Widow
records in formato CD ed anche in vinile con edizione limitata
preziosa ed affascinante, quindi i collezionisti sono
avvertiti. |

IL SEGNO DEL COMANDO is back 12 years later. New line
up and new album out for one of the most mysterious and charming rock bands
from Genoa and Italy. The band has been inactive until 2010, when BWR and Diego
Banchero finally got back together in studio and renewed the line up (with
Diego Banchero managing the whole project since Mercy left the boat). The band
takes part in the same year to the tribute to Pierrot Lunaire released by MP
Records from Vicenza, and immediately after, started recording "Il Volto
Verde" (the green face), concept album inspired by the novel of Gustav
Meyrink, well known masterpiece that represents one of the main subjects of his
esoteric testament. The book
also describes some techniques related to the mind control and that brings to
the so called "mental emptiness" as consistent connection to the
"superior self" that along with being a door on the subconscious, it
also connects to the "Universal Mind" itself. This is a
rather complex project: "Il volto Verde" features various
collaborators like Claudio Simonetti from Goblin, Gianni Leone from Balletto di
Bronzo, Martin Grice from Delirium, Freddy Delirio from DEATH SS, Paul Nash
& Maethelyiah from The Danse Society (& Blooding Mask), Sophya Baccini
from Presence along with Osanna e Delirium, all under the leadership of Diego
Banchero. The
prog-jazz rock-soundtrack-experimental-dark essence that characterises the
tracks in the first couple of chapters has been well developed and rooted. The
masterpiece's cover features an impressive and shocking painting from the
artist Danilo Capua and is released by Black Widow Records on CD and also on
precious limited collectable edition on vinyl. |
