Young flag-bearers of the progressive-fusion genre, Aphelion debut with “Franticode”

APHELION
&
LIZARD RECORDS

are proud to present:

FRANTICODE

“Instrumental progressive-fusion, intense and breath-taking”: thus Aphelion define their music as we can hear it in Franticode, a brilliant debut album that will enthral a wide range of listeners. A sound that crosses jazz-rock, heavy-rock, tech-progressive and advanced fusion in seven thrilling, dynamic songs. This young quartet from Treviso was born in 2004 and became known by international critics thanks to Demonstructive, a demo-CD that awakened the interest of a range of people supporting the band in working towards an official release.

Unique in their genre in Italy and internationally competitive, Aphelion recorded a high-quality album also thanks to the production by the great Derek Sherinian. The bubbly former keyboardist of Dream Theater, the mind behind Planet X, was fascinated by the maturity of the band and produced the record along with Alex Todorov in Beachwood Manor Studios in Burbank , California . The album is completed by the presence as a special guest of Alex Stornello, one of the technically most experienced rock-fusion guitarists in Italy , and by the artwork by Mattias Norén (ProgArt).

Aphelion are a technically able quartet, versatile and expressive, who are releasing an exciting album with an international depth, full of groove and intensity, that will be appreciated by the fans of Liquid Tension Experiment, Tribal Tech, Dixie dregs, Cynic and King Crimson.

Aphelion:

Alessandro Bertoni: keyboards.

Sebastiano Pozzobon: electric and fretless bass.

Enrico Pintonello: drums.

Matteo Gasparin: guitars.
