Of course. The italian language is the heart of RPI.

I don't know any of this bands. Actually, though I do like some RPI bands, I haven't delved so deep. However, somehow searching for italian bands that sing in english wouldn't interest me so much, part of the charm of RPI is that it is sun in italian, the music kind of looses it's identity otherwise.

This was easy for me, I love Moongarden.

I don't have an unnatural obsession with Disney Princesses, I have a fourteen year old daughter and coping mechanisms.

Thanks Presdoug, never heard about Libra, What album would you recommend to them?

Also would recommend Musica e Parole, and the English language version of that album, simply known as "Libra". Also "Winter Day's Nightmare".

no vote because I love at least half of them...maybe Asgard, Hostsonaten and Ezra Winston if I had to vote a top 3.

For me too, very tough to pick only one
From the list i consider masterpieces:

Asgard - "Arkana" and "Imago Mundi"
Ezra Winston - "Ancient Afternoons"
Moongarden - "Roundmidnight"
Eris Pluvia - "Rings of earthly light"
The Watch - "Vacuum"
Arenakmés - "In case of loss"
But all thebands are great

I've heard about a third of these bands and Asgard is my favourite by a mile. I especially love Esoteric Poem.

Hostsonaten! Summereve and Winterthrough are stunning. No vocals though!

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Hostsonaten, followed by Mangalla Vallis and Ezra Winston. The EW album I heard is a lost masterpiece IMO.

A GREAT YEAR FOR PROG!!!

I'll take Moongarden simply for their Round Midnight album, also The Watch brings me a lot of enjoyment.

There's a few good ones on here, but Areknames gets my vote. Hardly a typical Italian prog band, more along the lines of Anekdoten meets Porcupine Tree meets VdGG. Terrific vocalist, nice sorrowful moods, plenty of light and shade. A wonderful modern progressive band!

I've enjoyed some of the work of others on this list like Hostsonaten and The Watch too.

I think the most recent one I've heard was the latest from Mangala Vallis, and if I recall, the vocals sounded like that guy from Pain of Salvation, so definately not for me.

If you like Areknames i recommend you Men Of Lake (Ouch!!! i forgot to add them in the list) , "Out of the Water" it´s my favorite album, they sound like a mellow vdgg meets KC
