IMPROVVISO

Italian band PROPHEXY started out back in 1999, and was then a band focusing on metal as their genre of choice. As the band developed and its line-up with it they would soon start seeking out territories of a somewhat different kind however, and by the time their second album "Alconauta" was released in 2008 they had settled firmly within a progressive rock context. "Improvviso" is the band's third full length album, and was released through Musea Records' imprint Musea Parallele in 2013.

Prophexy is an entity that should appeal to those with a taste for variety, unpredictable developments, improvisational details and material that fairly easily merits a description as challenging. A certain taste for the avant-garde is probably needed, as should an appreciation for a band that occasionally pairs the challenging off with accessible details far removed from any avant with or without garde. A suggested key audience might be those who enjoy their Gong or Jethro Tull just as much as a band like Sleepytime Gorilla Museum.
