"The TRITOP project was born in 2008 from an idea of Ivo Di Traglia (drums) and Roberto Sandirocco (keyboards), joined later by lacopo Di Traglia (bass and vocals) and Yuri Massaro (guitar).
The quartet, initially called Wanderlust, started off very well and would end up performing in many locations in Central and Southern Italy. Due to personal reasons, the project was forced to suspend its live performances. Despite this, Ivo continued writing music and looking for new band members with the intention to record an album as soon as possible. At this point, the ambitions are getting high.
The songs composed by Ivo have clear progressive framework, with references to Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, ELP. There are also more recent influences such as Dream Theater Haken, Flower Kings and Kaipa, just to name few.
In 2016 Ivo teamed with the keyboardist Pierfrancesco Di Pofi and together they continued to compose new songs, enrich the previous ones and record all the ideas that members were set aside for years until current band Francesco - (guitar), Jacopo Tuzi (bass) and Mattia Fagiolo (vocals) joined the project in 2020. In May 2022, the debut album titled "RISE OF KASSANDRA" is completed and recorded: it is a concept album that tries to describe some peculiar aspects of human nature, such as the fear of chaos and how this pushes us to create structures oppression. The lyrics (in English) were written by lacopo."
