After 18 years away from the scenes, the prog-rock band from Torino releases its new album: a catchy concept album dedicated to the symbol of the apple in human history.

MELAPESANTE
...the strength of an apple is its simplicity, its offering itself...
Electromantic Music 2010
10 songs, 48,5 minutes
Melapesante is the new record by the historic prog band Syndone who, with a renovated line-up, dedicate their third album to apples. Led by the eclectic composer Nik Comoglio, who in 2009 received many positive feedbacks from audience and critics alike with Acqueforti, Syndone list in 10 chapters all the appearances of apples in history and literature: from Adam and Eve to Wilhelm Tell, from Magritte to Newton, they all come back to life in the best prog rock atmospheres.
For their third album the band – in Nik Comoglio's words – has focused on "creating the most original music we could, because I think that being original in music comes from the band, from a synergy of minds with as much cultural baggage as possible, each of them giving according to how much they have been assimilating in their past careers". With Melapesante we can hear a mature and artistically complete work: the attention for how it sounds, the vintage instruments and the mastering made in the famous Abbey Road studios in London contribute to make this record full of surprises.
Syndone are:
Nik Comoglio: piano, Hammond, Moog and keyboards
Federico Marchesano: electric bass and double bass
Paolo Rigotto: drums and percussions
Riccardo Ruggeri: vocals
