I have been asked to propose the band on Prog Archives. Given the issues we are experiencing at the moment with additions in Crossover, I am proposing this Italian band for RPI, which I think would be a good fit.
BAND INFORMATION
From the island of
Sardinia, the band has been carrying the flag of prog rock for over thirty
years

Some notes of our last
record "Ladyesis" (2023):
Ladyesis is a play on
words, between the note "LA# > LA diesis", (A# > A sharp, with
the international code) and "Lady" marking our female component.
It is not a concept
album but certainly in Valentina's lyrics there is a common thread which is
human fragility seen through the eyes of a woman, passion, filial love, war,
peace, sex, madness, courage and beauty.
It begins with a
dreamlike and introspective journey at the turn of the night (“Di notte”, “To
the Night”) and continues with a story that mixes reality and fantasy in an
imaginary classic drama (“Dea”, “Goddess”).
A poem dedicated
to our children (A mio figlio, “To my son”) and a nursery rhyme that teaches
courage even to those who think they have none (Filastrocca di periferia,
“Suburban nursery rhyme”).
The inertia that
sometimes condemns us to a non-life (Termiti, “Termites”) and the everyday
gestures that nullify the beauty of creation (Un altro lunedì, “Another
monday”).
After the instrumental
“Ladyesis pt.2”, the last piece is a descent into hell in mental illness
(Azazel).

You can listen to their work on the Bandcamp site, as well as the links on my website. HOWEVER, if you need anymore, I do hold MP3 files - simply PM me. Further, if accepted, I have photos & etc. which can be used for the page.
