Virtual Symmetry - For fans of Circus Maximus and 90's prog metal

[Oblivion Ocean]

Found this Italian band on Facebook. While not totally original, I do enjoy the vocals and the call back to that warm fuzzy 90's prog metal sound.

Here is some more detail...

PROGRAM ERROR (WE ARE THE VIRUS) Feat . Jordan Rudess


album teaser 2016


Taken from the band bio:
"...In the "Message from Eternity" tracks (completed in early 2015) there are some very special guests, like the legendary Dream Theater keyboard player Mr. Jordan Rudess and other significant names in the European prog metal scene, for example the singer and producer Alessandro Del Vecchio (Frontiers Records, Edge of forever, Hardline), the guitar player and singer Marco Pastorino (Secret Sphere, Hate Tyler, Temperance) protagonist of every vocal track of the album and the multi-instrumentalist Ruben Paganelli playing piano and saxophone tracks. All the lyrics were written by Sirio Balmelli with the supervision of Valerio Æsir Villa...."

Sounds pretty sweet to these ears. Thanks for sharing.

for a newbie to the genre, this might be a good band to listen to. I don't have fresh ears anymore, having heard what the genre can produce so it just doesn't sound up to scratch to me.

That's almost exactly how I feel as well.

Yeah, I feel the same. Like the video in the original post, its an ok song but I have no desire to check out the rest of the album. Though I'm a big fan of playing prog while wearing sunglasses. More prog bands need to do it in my opinion, its the proggiest thing ever.
