Cyrax

A new Prog Metal experience

Cyrax
Hamáhólo' Ogo Cyrax
  • Hamáhólo' Ogo

CYRAX is the meeting of inventive Italian musicians living in the neighborhoods of Milan. All began in 2012, when Marco Cantoni met Antonio Rubuano and Paolo Musazzi, and they instantly started writing music. Based on some original Marcos’s ideas, Cyrax’s songs were written in late 2012, gradually assuming strong progressive and experimental traits. In 2013 Cesare Ferrari and Paolo Biocchi joined the project. In march the group records its debut album, Reflections, which has been worldwide published in october 2013 by Musea. The second album Pictures was recorded during the summer of 2014 and published by Bakerteam Records. At the beginning of 2015 Paolo Musazzi left the band. Tour started in December 2015, and after several line up changes, Gianluca Fraschini and Martin Chionna joined the band and played a crucial role in the composition of the third album. “Experiences”, was released in December 2020 under Wormhole Records. During the recording sessions a young pianist by the name of Jacopo Bonora joined the band, and a few months later Cyrax recorded with him 5 songs for their new ep “Metamorphosis”.

In this new Ep the band chose to re-visit some of their older songs and completely change them, adding new instruments, orchestrations, choirs and much more. The style of these songs is now completely unique to each one of them, and they represent the ever-changing and evolving style that Cyrax adopted as his own.

Origins:
In the smoldering musical cauldron between Verbania and Domodossola, the powerful flame of Crownlake came to life in 2011. The founding members (vocalist Chris Da Ros and guitarist Aram Kalaydjian) catapulted their musical passions into the abyss of metal, forging a sound that is pure, dynamic, and, let’s say it without mincing words, fucking yeah!

New elements join the metal brotherhood as Crownlake experiences a power surge in 2022 with the addition of Alessandro Berini on bass and Andrea Palumbo on drums. These exceptional musicians have brought new levels of power and precision, solidifying the unique sound of Crownlake. This fusion of rebellious minds has birthed a project that goes far beyond traditional musical boundaries, transforming metal into a captivating and irresistible experience.

The Sound:
Crownlake’s sound is a sonic tornado embracing metal in all its forms. From thunderous riffs to frenetic rhythms, their mix of heavy metal, thrash metal, and nu metal is a wild journey that knows no bounds. Armenian ethnic influences intertwine with pure power, adding a distinctive and unexpected touch to their repertoire.

Festivals:
Crownlake has graced the stages of the most iconic festivals, from Grave Party to VooBstock, Pirates of Rock to a triumphant first prize at Bustock (Busto Arsizio) in 2014. Their presence is like thunder resonating, an experience etched in the memory of anyone within their reach.

The Future:
Crownlake shows no signs of slowing down. Their burning flame continues to create emotions, rebellious riffs, and an explosion of energy, soon giving birth to a new EP.
Let’s get the assault started!

The Guy From The Hills

Folk / Blues from Italy

The Guy From The Hill
Poor Black Mattie The Guy From The Hills
  • Poor Black Mattie

Il progetto The Guy From The Hills ha origini lontane ma si concretizza sul finire del 2018 ed è la celebrazione di un amore viscerale per il blues più scarno, crudo, primordiale.
Dopo anni passati a suonare con diverse band ho deciso che dovevo assecondare il bisogno di intraprendere un viaggio più intimo e personale. Così ho costruito una wine box guitar ed ho selezionato un repertorio composto da brani di grandi personalità del Delta blues, Hill country blues e folk, oltre che ad alcune composizioni originali.
The Guy From The Hills è una chitarra, una voce e qualche storia da raccontare
