Helreidh - Fingerprints Of The Gods (2001)




TRACKLIST:




Genre => Heavy Metal/Progressive Metal
Origin => Italy
Bitrate => 320

Info:

Helreið was founded as a musical project about three years ago, but it is only nearly the end of 1995 that it takes its final form, with the entry into the line-up of the former Asgard singer Franco Violo, and the former Alex de Rosso bass player Alessandro Arcuri. Thus, nowadays Helreið are Franco Violo on Vocals, Marco Tortato on the guitar, Alessandro Arcuri on the bass, Daniele Soravia on the keyboards, and Luca Roggi - former Black Jester - on the drums. The initial project, at the time of foundation, was to work on instrumental pieces, exploring thus the most extreme stream of Progressive Metal, but the need of a narrative support to the songs and to the stories to be evoked in their works have characterised their choice of Franco Violo as singer, surely well suitable to the kind of music the group would have liked to produce. His experience with Asgard was the best presentation for a band that was looking for a powerful but expressive singer, and his familiarity with Northern themes and atmospheres was completely shared by the Helreið project. Successively the need for a new bass player brought Alessandro Arcuri to join the band. He took - thanks to his several experiences of which the most important is the album Kickin' the Bucket by Alex de Rosso - to the quite classic sound of Helreið something original and more progressive.
