Back in 2005 wandering at night along the roads among the hills of beautiful Umbria, stealing road signs, the band from Orvieto was born with the sunny, adolescent, vivid intention of throwing the heart beyond the obstacle, passionately trying to translate everything into music what is assimilated during the course of life, the passing of days marked by feelings, emotions, memories and the mere chronicle of the facts.

They have three productions and a debut demo to their credit, countless participations in concerts, openings to international artists ( Corrosion Of Conformity , Paul Di Anno , Pino Scotto ), proposing in a modern key what a band like Black Sabbath had sown in the endless field of the Rock. Obviously the voice is not exactly that of an Ozzy in a tender post-pubescent age, but rather the more mature and warm one, perhaps close, with due distinction, to Rob Zombie .

However, there is no shortage of interesting openings and digressions to the main theme of the Post Stoner: " Hey Man " has many changes of atmosphere, very fluctuating timbres, a good instrumental piece, which at times is at the limit of musical lyricism, very emphatic in the passages, but which it presents ideas that are closely connected to sensations that can be traced back to a certain background of listening to Prog from the 70s.

The pieces presented, obviously beyond the references with the progenitor masters of the genre, are also affected by the influences of evidently more recent and more coeval groups as inspiration of tastes to our trio; one can hear for example clear connections and links with Alice In Chians and Soundgarden .

Beautiful, powerful and fascinating, " Ten Years " is perhaps the heaviest of the whole exhibited lot, with the singer Corrado Giuliano in splendid form, where the immediacy of remote Blue Cheer explodes in a showy way.

Surely the desire to mix, to contaminate is in the band's strings; we understand that in the rehearsal room there is a lot of spontaneity, probably the various souls of the three young artists meet each other in a continuous loop improvisation, characterized by the exchange of riffs, one after the other, almost in a cascade, bringing the experience shared towards a unicuum of positive, energetic, and eschatologically, without the slightest premature hint, they go to structure a verse, a refrain, a bridge, a solo; all done in a natural way, avoiding structural preconceptions, in complete freedom, with a minimalistic but humoral, visceral, sincere, immediate expressiveness. It is a return if we want to the origins, to the deepest roots, a connection to a less mediated approach to music,

FFO: Black Label Society, Pantera, Red Fang, Monster Truck

Location: Italy

Signs Preyer's "III", was born after Eric (second guitarist) left the band after 10 years of activity. The Signs Preyer then from a quartet becomes a trio. As soon as Eric left the band, perhaps transported by the sense of revenge or to make up for the pain, the trio immediately produced 5 unreleased songs. They brought live a couple of these, joining them to a rearrangement of the old songs of the other 2 albums, given the lack of a guitar than before. The feedback of the new trio line-up seemed to be even more welcome than the previous quartet and hundreds of congratulations from the audience encouraged the band, always very close to his fans. The other 5 tracks were not long in coming, but unfortunately, the Covid 19 slowed the process of realization moving the release to 12 November 2022. Another factor that slowed down production was that Signs Preyer wanted a record that was as authentic as possible and so they decided to record it live, except for the vocals, solos and some reinforcement. But the heart of the album is undoubted that it was recorded live, so at a minimum and tiny error of a single component, the song had to be played again. In this album, they tried to get out of all the schemes they had previously explored, trying to give rise to a new sound of the new line-up.
