Ivory

gs, made it possible for them to be included in the book by Max Salari "Italian progressive metal". Ivory's journey was fraught with difficulties, with numerous line up changes and an album (Prophecy of a Dream) that never saw the light; only in 2007 the Demo Atlantis Falls, strong of unanimous consensus, leads to the realization of "Time For Revenge" (2008 Heart Of Steel Rec) and to a stable line-up that saw Ivan Giannini (voice, now with Vision Divine), Salvo Vecchio ( guitar), Luca Bernazzi (bass), Andrea Marincola (keyboards) and Il Pedro (drums); the album got excellent critical responses from all over the world. The evolution of the sound of Ivory takes a step forward in 2014, when the band finds new life in Roby Bruccoleri on vocals (already in Projecto) and in Claudio Rostagno on drums; the second album "A Moment, A Place And A Reason" is the expression of a more mature band that expresses itself in a more rock oriented sound. The album, recorded and mixed at the Rock Lab Studios in Turin by Andreas Polito and mastered at Grapow Studios by Roland Grapow, was released in 2016 via Buil2kill rec / Nadir and saw the presence of two special guests such as Vic Mazzoni (Projecto, Wonderland, Shadows Of Steel) and Alexandros Muscio (Highlord, White Skull, Opera IX). Recently the band got together and by permanently inserting the new singer Davide Dell'Orto (Drakkar) in the line up, he realized the new ep "A Social Desease", five new songs recorded between Salvo's home studio and Matt Stanciou’s Elnor Studio (Labyrinth, Vision Divine, Drakkar etc.). The ep, out on November 08 2022, is published in an elegant three-door digipack by the historic Undeground Symphony Records by Maurizio Chiarello. The artwork was realized by Jahn Vision Art, in order to have a product curated in everything, from the production, dry and direct to get close as much as possible to the bands that Ivory are inspired by (Van Halen, Mr. Big, Extreme and more recently The Winery Dogs, Smith / Kotzen), up to the artwork, which summarizes the contents of the texts and which deal with social relations in the feeling side, without wanting to take away the free interpretation of the sung words from listening.
