Post Description

Studio Album, released in 2009, Italy.

Rock Progressivo Italiano.

In late 2009 comes their debut album recorded at Prosdicimi Recordings studio and released on MaRaCash Records. The band is the latest group to attempt an update of the classic 1970s RPI scene and claims an affinity for the legendary Biglietto per l'Inferno and Area in their profile. As with one of 2008's favorite new bands Pandora, Altare Thotemico is a mixture of veterans and younger musicians from different towns and backgrounds, giving them a wide musical perspective.

The music draws on a variety of styles and influences from psych, blues, avant, and jazz flavored rock, while the generous keyboards and bold vocals get the RPI juices flowing. Most important is the sense of playfulness and passion that was found in the classic period bands. Often newer bands are very technically gifted but lack that sense of musical mischief and soul---Altare Thotemico have not forgotten.
