AVENOTH

Italian band LA BOCCA DELLA VERITA was formed back in 2001, originally intended as a strict covers badn performing classic from Italian and British prog, but from a few years into the band's existence the desire to create something themselves appeared strongly as well. Developed over more than a decade, their debut album "Avenoth" was released by Italian label Altrock Productions in 2016, through their Fading Records imprint.

"Avenoth" is an album that took a decade to be properly developed, and that is easy to understand when you listen to this album. Almost 80 minutes filled to the brim with challenging, complex symphonic progressive rock, and for those who know Italian there's a concept story to be enjoyed as well. If you are among the ones that feel progressive rock should be of the symphonic variety and that they never made it better than in the 1970's, this is a band and an album that merits a good few listens.
