Prisma - You Name It 'Progressive Rock'


Prisma, the Swiss Rockquartett, was formed in 2004.
 
After winning a newcomer competition in 2005, they could play their first international gigs.
 
In coorperation with the Zurich Opera House and Howie Weinberg (The Mars Volta, Smashing Pumpkins) they released their first longplayer in 2008 on the label Galileo Records.
 
"Collusion" got excellent reviews in swiss and german rock-magazines.
 
With their debut-album, Prisma traveled halfway around the world. They played in clubs and festivals in Bosnia, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Italy and Mexico, and shared the stage with Coheed and Cambria, Mick Pointer, Therapy, Pain Of Salvation, Riverside or Gotthard.
 
Since then they continuously developed their mix of alternative rock, ambient and metal. Pushing basslines, tricky rhythms, explosive guitar runs and the distinctive voice are trademarks of Prisma.
 
Now comes the second strike: "You Name It," the second album, stands for sophisticated rock, where the evocative, characterful voice bursts from the center. The rich, powerful sound (mixed by Tommy Vetterli - Coroners), the outstanding musical and technical skills of the quartet, and the complex, but very tasteful arrangements will inspire progfans as rock and metal listeners.
 
On the stage, Prisma will be supportet by two video jockeys (Pixelpunx). Their visuals are related to the lyrics and live performed. Prisma gigs became a multimedia experience.
 
"You Name It," offers modern and song-oriented progressive-rock of enormous impact.
