Post Description

Studio Album, released in 1972, Italy.

Rock Progressivo Italiano.

The only album was released in 1972, the first really great year for Italian progressive. The music in this album is more like LED ZEPPELIN style hard rock but the overall sound is more progressive due to the imaginative rhythm section. The music highlights the electric guitar but it is actually the bassist that steals the show. The keyboards (piano) are featured in only one of the tracks. The vocals suit the music very well and are perhaps the strongest point besides the bassist. Not a very progressive album in the true meaning of the word but a good album nevertheless.

Among Italian heavy prog albums, it is difficult to rate this one. It certainly stands up with many of the truly great Italian heavies, bearing several points of comparison to Osage Tribe and also at times to Greece"s Socrates Drank The Conium. I Teormi however is unique in their use of frenetic atmospheres throughout much of their compositions, hinting at an avantgarde feel on this their sole output. It surprises me how modern much of it feels due to atonal shifts in their sound. Their vocalist doesn"t sound too far from the norm in the Italian Prog realm, but the rest of the band heavily twists, rips and blasts their way through three quarters of an hour. A unique classic of Heavy Prog! 

I TEOREMI is recommended for listeners who like progressive with a prominent hard rock sound.
