LA CRUDELTA' DI APRILE
The Unreal City is a young band born in Parma, which presents a symphonic prog music with strong dark and gothic influences. The title of their debut album is La Crudeltà Di Aprile.
The Unreal City was born in April 2008, from an idea of keyboardist / singer Emanuele Tarasconi, and guitarist Francesca Zanetta. With the help of new members added, Francesco Orefice on bass guitar (since 2010) and Federico Bedostri on drums (since 2012), in June 2012, the Unreal City publishes a self-produced EP that allows them to come into contact with Fabio Zuffanti (Hostsonaten, La Maschera Di Cera, Finisterre, La Zona) who decided to produce the band's first album for the label Mirror Records. The recording phase were held in Hilary Studio, in Genoa (baseline study for the Mirror productions), under the expert guidance of Rossano "Rox" Villa.
The first album, La Crudeltà Di Aprile, contains surprisingly mature music, mixed with modern lyrics, born in English and then processed to the most natural idiom, Italian, to transmit the message clearly . The thread that binds tightly the stories tells about, corruption of things and people, changes, and the becoming. The U.C. use instruments like Hammond and Liturgical Organ, Mellotron, Moog, Clavinet, Rhodes, vintage special effects, reverb and tape echo. We must emphasize the originality of the drum lines which have the merit to transfer the music written in a very 70's mode in a more modern and attractive contest, while maintaining certain fixed indispensable modes for prog.
Clear ideas, cleverness, great specific musical culture - unusual for young people - are the basic ingredients that the four musicians put out, to propose their own project that will surely not leave listeners indifferent.
