Sara as singer, Claudio as solo guitarist, Fabio as rythm
guitarist and Alessandro as drummer.The sextet
imediately sarted working on the demo ep “Trailer”
containing four excerpts of the exciting Black Crystal
Sword Saga conceived by Daniele himself, that is
influenced from fantasy nordic tales and japanese
stories like Final Fantasy.During the realization of the
demo, the bards were also busy performing in several
Italian live contests from which they gained great results
always reaching the first place.In May 2008 Trailer was
finished and was reviewed by many italian webzines and
magazines always obtaining high marks.In the
meantime they were noticed by Emiliano Nanni, the
president of the promotion and booking agency BRC
(Bologna Rock City), that brought them on the stages on
many italian live clubs supporting bands such as
Turisas, Over The Rainbow, Almah, White Skull, etc.
getting loads of success.In the summer of 2009 the
band recorded at Fear Studio in Ravenna it’s first full-
length album that merges Sara Squadrani's vocals with
clean choral singalongs and heavy guitar sounds, to
create an album teeming with ultra-catchy gems.Up to
now the path of the six bards has led them to sign with
Limb Music Products (Rhapsody, Luca Turilli, Pagan’s
Mind, Eldritch and many more!).The rest of the Ancient
Bards’ adventure is still to be written… « hide |
