THE LEGEND OF THE HOLY CIRCLE

Italian band THREE MONKS was formed back in 2009, with a core membership consisting of composer and organist Paolo Lazzeri and bassist Maurizio Bozzi. They released their debut album "Neogothic Progressive Toccatas" on Drycastle Records in 2010. "The Legend of the Holy Circle" is their second full-length disc, issued by Black Widow Records in 2013.

Dark, dramatic organ-driven music of the kind that wouldn't be amiss as the soundtrack of a vintage horror movie with an abandoned castle as the setting is what Three Monks present us on their second album "The Legend of the Holy Circle". In many ways a similar production to their debut album, but with an expanded scope and sound due to the inclusion of additional keyboards. Highly recommended to just about anyone with a soft spot for the church organ used as the main and dominating instrument in an instrumental, progressive rock context.
