RanestRane is an Italian prog band from Rome that was formed in 1998 with the aim to compose and perform a rock-opera.
Unlike other famous rock operas, where the movie is based on the story conceived by the musicians, RanestRane choosed the gothic masterpiece of W. Herzog "Nosferatu The Vampyre", and composed a whole new soundtrack with the songs telling the story to the public (NOSFERATU IL VAMPIRO).
In 2008, they began to compose the rock opera "Shining", based on S. Kubrick's movie.
They started their live activity in 2000, performing a show called "cineconcerto", with the images of the Herzog's film flowing in the background. The show has been introduced by Premiata Forneria Marconi in in Milan, and has been performed during the International Rome Film Festival.
