Obscura is a progressive rock band from Mantova, Italy. Obscura may seem new to us prog fans, but they have actually been around for over ten years. The website suggests a very ethereal, and poetic concept of the band. They seem to take influences from all that is encountered. However, Italo Calvino's work seems to be a primary inspiration. They enjoy a mysterious collective personna, and even wish to remain visually obscure (thus no band photo). Obscura was born in 1996, founding members were Massimo Tabai (keyboards - composer), Matteo Cavallari (guitars - lyrics), Matteo Pinfari (bass), Marcello Ricci (drums), Barbara Mazzola (flute) and Luca Palleschi (vocals). The band played live gigs that year, and in 1997 started recording tracks for the first cd "Le Città Invisibili", inspired from a book by Italo Calvino. Recordings took place at David Cremoni's house, and initially the producer had to be Cristiano Roversi (Moongarden, Submarine Silence) that showed up only once, nevertheless contributing to the album by urging Matteo Cavallari to write "Ombre Tra La Folla", so adding a metal flavor to the general palette. David Cremoni took charge of production, and before finishing the instrumental tracks Luca Palleschi left the band, replaced by Davide Cagnata. Palleschi later joined Moongarden for "The Gates Of Omega" and "Round Midnight" albums. Once finished, nothing was done to release the album, and the band came back to touring, at first with the classic "electric" version, and later with an "acoustic" version. Some year later OBSCURA went on hiatus, with some members busy on other projects. In 2004 Davide Cagnata found the almost forgotten cd, had a listen, then sent it to Mellow Records, which agreed on releasing the album. After some delay, the cd was distributed on July, 2007. Following the good reactions from reviews and prog fans, the band regrouped, and is planning a new album for the near future.
~ H.T. Riekels (bhikkhu), and Davide Cagnata.
