The first album, from 1974, of this hard rock influenced Italian off-shoot of New Trolls.

"In 1980, Ilitch mastermind Thierry M�ller released his second LP, 10 Suicides, on the French imprint S.C.O.P.A.

"Italy's Ingrannagi della Valle delivered a dazzling and brilliantly performed debut, `In Hoc Signo', back in 2013 on the Black Widow label, a thrilling shot-in-the-arm for the traditional vintage symphonic RPI sound, fuelled by endless searing violin and extravagant vocals. It was the classic sound of Italy's proud prog past meeting a youthful and exuberant future, one for lovers of bands such as Quella Vecchio Locanda. So having accomplished that, what was next for the band? How about aiming even...

Isildurs Bane are a Swedish progressive mainstay of the past 35-40 years who have released a long series of albums moving from solidly progressive rock, towards a more thoroughly orchestrated sound that combines elements of many styles of progressive, symphonic & avant rock and finally more into the field of 'instant composition', which is where they left off quite some time ago.
For their first new one in some time, they have moved much more back to a 'progressive rock' sound, but they are still at...
