Upon their arrival on the prog scene in the mid 90's, ABIOGENESI showed a surprisingly charismatic style which they continued to display for over ten years. Out of the entire prog catalogue, this prolific Italian band chose to go back to the roots, dressing up the 70's traditional sound with new craftsmanship and a variety of influences. Classic prog isn't exactly what they play as their style has a dark, hard feel, although it blends well with the symphonic style. Their influences are basically threefold: heavy art rock (classic influence or modern arrangements), psychedelic prog, and modern Italian symphonic prog. Retro-prog could perhaps be mentioned also, as the band seeks to recreate a druggy, classic psych atmoshpere that blends fantasy, melodious passages and improvisation.
ABIOGENESI are essentially marked by their guitarist, songwriter and vocalist Toni d'Urso. The initial quartet, which also included drummer Sandro Immacolato, bassist Roberto Piccolo and keyboardist Patrick Menegaldo, was in itself an original and promising entity. After their second album, Menegaldo was replaced by organist and flutist Marco Cimino, who was later replaced by Paulo Cercato. Their many albums also feature other musicians among whom Clive Jones from BLACK WIDOW, Gigi Venegoni and Kevin Brooks are most prolific.
