Currently being evaluated by the RPI group as we speak, Sventonio!

A terrific band, we were all impressed with the samples we've heard!

Great, but I did not find anything searching through; so the band must have been discussed in the collab zone, I guess.

Thanks again Svetonio... sorry for being picky but I just want to correct a couple of things:
 
The band pic and the reverbnation link you posted are both of an American metal band by the same name.
 
The correct line-up should read as:
 
Alessio Vito / vocals, guitar, flute
Raffaele Purgante / electric guitar
Antonio Di Filippo / alto and tenor saxophones
Alessandro Ragano / bass
Mauro Cefalo / drums
 
... just in case the band sees this thread. Wink
