..... Crown of Autumn came to light in October 1996 by
the will of the founding member Emanuele Rastelli
(guitars, bass and keyboards) to create a dark and epic
metal project. Two other members joined him: Diego
Balconi on melodic vocals and Marco Ibba on screamy
vocals. In the same year the band released their four
