Retro Italian prog
Latest album: Stupor Mundi Vol. 1 (2023)

D'un Fuoco Rapito, d'un Giovane Uomo, d'un Amore Insensato (2019)
Of a Kidnapped Fire, Of a Young Man, Of a Senseless Love (of course I looked it up...) is the debut album from Prometheo, a decidedly retro band from Italy. Singing in the native tongue while using vintage equipment, the band clearly studied the masters before going into the recording session. While their heart is clearly in the right place, the music is a bit stilted and flat. Some of that is the production and some is the instrument tones. I've seen references to legends such as Museo Rosenbach and Biglietto per L'Inferno, but both are far more kinetic than this album. Perhaps it's too well studied. All the same, a fine debut by a group who shows immense potential.
