A PIEDI NUDI

A fantastic band coming from Italy,A PIEDI NUDI draw their influences from every possible progressive rock style.They still remain among the most cult names of modern progressive rock due to their original sound.They debuted in 1994 with their eponymous album,later re-released by Mellow Records.A PIEDI NUDI seem to lean towards the heavier side of progressive rock,reminding mostly of mid-70's KING CRIMSON or resembling to the heavy side of Italian prog (IL BALLETO DI BRONZO,BIGLIETTO PER L'INFERNO etc.).The compositions are balanced between complicated guitar playing/haunting organ work and lyrical themes,sung in a dark poetic way by Mirko Schiesaro.In their less complex parts,you can taste some really nice groovy bass lines,interesting drumming and distinctive synth-work.I would say that ''A piedi nudi'' is a quite respectful work,deeply based on 70's prog tradition,filled with great rhythm-parts,complex passages and obscure vocals.Recommended for fans of dark yet inventive progressive rock music!
