The Italian progressive rock band explores the depth of the human mind and schizophrenia. An astounding third album, produced by Mike3rd, mastered by Ronan Chris Murphy. Gemini: the new concept album of Marchesi Scamorza!
“Our new album Gemini tells the story of a man who struggles with his many personalities. The schizophrenia of the man is a whirling and moody journey in his inner world, he is overwhelmed by the times he lives in and takes refuge in the memories of his past, he is unable to understand his real nature and tries to cross the mirror that reflects his demons. Themes as the double and the mirror have been explored by Wilde, Poe, Carroll, we’re feeling this influence with some D’Annunzio echoes “.
Gemini is the third album of Marchesi Scamorza, and it is a concept album. Since the times of King Crimson, every prog band has tested the experience of a concept but the narration of Gemini takes different paths, to get into the dark and mysterious dynamics of the human mind, a journey into the inner world of the man, with the progressive-rock of the young band.
Founded a Ferrara nel 2009, Marchesi Scamorza released their first album La Sposa del Tempo in 2012 andHypnophonia in 2015. The band has played in the second and third act of Decameron: Ten Days in 100 Novellas (Colossus – Musea Records, featuring famous bands as Latte e Miele, Il Castello di Atlante, Unitopia and Karda Estra). Gemini has been recorded in famous analog studio Prosdocimi Recording with the producer Mike 3rd and mastered by the great Ronan Chris Murphy. The album was released through Italian label PMS Studio in June 2018.
This third album is a turning point for the Italian quintet, that faces the main theme of schizofrenia with achanging neoprog: “Besides the progressive elements, we have some parts of alternative rock, others ofhard rock and others have more vintage melodic characteristics, some chords coming from Satie, so we tried to bring together many influences, always based on narrative needs. With Gemini we’d like to play a type of music drawing on contemporary contaminations, rather than referring to the great historical bands, which still remain in our background”.
