Il Bacio della Medusa
The genesis of the band called “IL BACIO DELLA MEDUSA” started in September 2002 thanks to DIEGO PETRINI (drums), FEDERICO CAPRAI (bass) and SIMONE CECCHINI (voice and acoustic guitar).
From the ashes of a previous group which already involved Petrini and Caprai, a new musical artistic laboratory was born: its main purpose has been since the beginning the rediscovery of the 70’s Progressive Rock through the sometimes maniacal search of old vinyl records and it opened up a prosperous and creative season that restored the right dignity of texts and musical arrangements.
After several turnovers of staff (various guitar and keyboard players have come and gone) in 2003 EVA MORELLI (traverso Flute, Contralto Sax, Piccolo) and SIMONE BROZZETTI (guitar) joined the band (he brought the group a definitely Rock Blues sound and a more instinctive and biting style compared to the previous guitar plyers).
After a year and a half of intense work BDM decided to rearrange the pieces under construction and started recording in April 2004. In June the project became real and it came to completion with the making of the first record, the homonymous “IL BACIO DELLA MEDUSA”.
In December 2004 BDM participates and wins the musical contest “ROCK’IN CENTRO” in Perugia: so the band will take part in the European event CLASS’ Eu ROCK 'Festival (with many European bands) in December 2005 in Aix-en-Provence (France).
With much surprise BDM get a hot reception from the French public!
In January 2005 DANIELE RINCHI officially joined the band: with his violin he gave a great contribution to the restyling of the sound of the band; the sound experienced a further evolution thanks to the introduction of new instruments such as Petrini’s organ .
The collaboration with the BLACK WIDOW RECORDS represents the very turning point for the band; the famous Genoese label, renown among prog aficionados, has been distributing the first record of the band starting from may 2005.
From September 2005 the group started working on a new concept album called “DISCESA AGL’INFERI D’UN GIOVANE AMANTE” which has been issued only in May 2006. During those months the group continued promoting the old pieces and at the same time they started testing new pieces revisiting their live performances.
After finishing the album recordings in September 2006 “IL BACIO” stipulated a contract with the Black Widow Records for the reprinting of the first work and the production of the new one (LP-CD).
Currently, BDM works in view of a series of concerts presenting live the concept “Discesa agl’inferi d’un giovane amante” and has planned the recording of the DVD "BDM Live" in Genoa.
