CENTRICA

One of the most obscure and little known intrumental prog metal/fusion band from Italy is for sure Centrica. One album saw the light in 2008 self titles issued at Musea records in 2008. To me this album was a nice surprise, if you like LTE, Cosmics, Planet X, etc, this is a fairly solid release. The musicianship is excellent, the pieces are all instrumental and are with dynamic parts, powerful guitar solos and inspired keyboards. The drumer is a well known one in this field Dario Cicioni from italian prog metal band Twinspirits or Genius among others. Again unfairly overlooked released in this scene, that needed far more exposure, this type of instrumental fusion prog metal I can listen every day every hour, not a boring moment, all is great and I like it from start to finish. The dueling between gitar and keyboards are inspired and damn well played. The opening track centrica experinece is an 8 min pure delight . Nice simple art work. 3.5 stars
