2013 was a banner year for all things Italian prog related, an astounding mix of winning comeback works from established bands and dazzling works from newcomers filled with so much exciting potential and promise. It was already looking like 2014 would potentially measure up to the same quality, and then an album like this first […]

As so brilliantly expressed by my esteemed colleagues Todd and Aussie-Byrd-Brother, the Italian progressive scene has been spurting lately with fierce determination, Vesuvius and Etna exploding simultaneously with a lava flow of stunning 2013 releases and it is now clear that 2014 will be just as scorching. Recent arrivals Phoenix Again, Ego, Aurora Lunare, Nodo […]

“L’enigma della vita”. Na endlich ein italienischer Albumtitel, den man auch ohne wirkliche Italienischkenntnisse sofort versteht! Wie bei dem Titel zu erwarten war beschäftigt sich der Bandleader Luca Zerman darauf mit der Erkenntnis, dass das Leben voller Geheimnisse steckt. Die italienische Formation Logos gibt es seit 1996. Damals begannen sie als eine Coverband, die unter […]

La storia dei Logos affonda le radici nel 1996, inizialmente come cover band che omaggia i giganti del progressivo italiano, in particolare BMS e Le Orme. Solo tre anni più tardi, come quintetto, il gruppo elabora un proprio repertorio che viene proposto nell’esordio “Logos”, replicato quattro anni più tardi con “Àsraya” che, nonostante sia ancora […]

Addirittura 13 anni sono trascorsi dalla precedente uscita discografica (“Asrava”, il titolo di quello “storico” album) dei LogoS. Stabilizzata la line-up attorno a Luca Zerman (voce, organo, Mellotron, synth), Fabio Gaspari (batteria e basso), Claudio Antolini (pianoforte e synth), Massimo Maoli (chitarre – che ha nel frattempo lasciato il gruppo) e a Alessandro Perbellini (batteria […]

Personally, I consider that, the Italian Progressive Rock Music is one of the finest around the world, mainly in its musical composition, from the quality of the musicians and their ability to used classical arrangements and work out their ideas in such a perfectionism and with the ability to fuse the emotional with the intellectual, […]

LOGOS existe depuis 1996 et ils ont comme beaucoup commencé par jouer des reprises. Ils sont à ma connaissance le premier groupe à jouer des covers de LE ORME, avant de s’atteler à leurs propres compositions. Ils ont enregistré leurs deux premiers albums en 1999 puis 2001. Treize ans sans nouvelles dus en partie à […]

Verona e Mestre distano geograficamente poco più di cento chilometri ma nel nostro caso sono separate nel tempo da quasi sei lustri, ovvero quanto necessita per collegare una band emergente scaligera, i LogoS, ad una formazione di origine lagunare decisamente più conosciuta, Le Orme. E’ infatti la primavera del 1996 quando un trio di giovani […]

Now I am back to write about an Italian modern prog rock band. They contacted me some weeks ago and I was very honoured when they wanted me to hear and review their record. The band’s name is “Logos” and they seem to have been around for a while. They come from Verona and started […]
