ENGLISH

"Hidden Tale" is a project born from the common passion of our band members for metal music. The "Agony Flames" take life in 2003-2004, the years in which the mind and guitarist, Diego Grancini, begins to compose songs that will be in this concept album. Friendship within Francesco Bergami, which dates back to the times of primary school, was precondition for this achievement. He is present in this album as bassist and vocals. Within Diego Grancini, vocalist that remind sometimes doom atmospheres, and Francesco Bergami, a classical metal singer, a woman joined the band, Silvia Beretto met in high school. Thanks to the voices mixing, completely different from each others, we have in this album an original sound. Diego’s voice timbre (Agony) reminds, in its lowest tones, Ville Laihiala of Sentenced and, in the atmosphere of intro track, the Moonspell. However Francesco’s voice (Satan) gives an intense power to the music, while Silvia contributes enriching group sound with a Gothic influence, as the Nathan Ramirez artwork.

Songs are basically influenced by heavy metal, within references to Iron Maiden as well gothic and doom music which receive a strong benefit by voices alternates and melodic terms. Just talking about the sound we found that rhythm and music speed is typical of metal style. The only exception is represented by “Frustration” that goes on a different way within its melancholy notes. The creativity demonstrated in the composition of the music is reflected in the plot of the concept, (plot that comes from Diego’s fantasy): every vocal and musical element is structured according to the function that takes in the history. The introduction track talks about the prophecy in which the Lord of Darkness will be won by a humble and weak old man (whose name will be Agony Flames). All is presented with strong mysticism. The story goes on shown how the prophecy will happen, on one hand with the anger of Satan for that prophecy (it is made through a specific voice rhythm), and on the other talking about the frustration of this old man, that he has not more than his life (it is realized with melancholic motes). Than we arrive to the frenzy of the battle between the two, expressed by a completely instrumental song, until it reaches the supremacy of Agony, a new dark sovereign, made through an impressive sound and epic. The songs in "Hidden Tale" in their full wording, both riff, vocal lines, arrangements, whether text, are the result of work and creativity of Diego Grancini, which has also provided a self production and recording of disc, realized in 2007, with the contribution of musical knowledge of Francesco Bergami.

The group is already working on a second project with two new members, Franco Moncelsi to the bassguitar and Gabriele Achilli to the keyboard. Not just clean entries, as in "Hidden Tale" but also “dirty” inserts, growl and scream, and dark and melancholic sounds. Naturally we will find, as predominant figure of the new project, the character whose future remains here pending: Agony Flames.

ITALIANO

“Hidden Tale” è un progetto che nasce dalla comune passione dei componenti del gruppo per la musica metal. Gli “Agony Flames” prendono vita nel 2003-2004, anni in cui la mente e chitarrista, Diego Grancini, inizia a comporre i brani che troveremo in questo concept album. Fondamentale per la sua realizzazione è stata l’amicizia, il cui inizio risale ai tempi delle elementari, con Francesco Bergami, che troviamo qui nelle vesti di bassista e voce. Oltre a Diego Grancini, vocalist dalle linee solide e che richiama talvolta atmosfere doom, Francesco Bergami, cantante dall’attitudine più classicamente metal, si è aggiunta successivamente una voce femminile, quella di Silvia Beretto, conosciuta al liceo. Ciò che rende originale il sound è anche l’intrecciarsi di queste voci, completamente diverse l’una dall’altra: il timbro di Diego (Agony) ricorda, nei suoi toni più bassi, Ville Laihiala dei Sentenced, mentre in altri momenti, ad esempio nell’intro, tende a creare un’atmosfera che rimanda a gruppi come i Moonspell; il timbro di Francesco (Satana), invece, risulta più adatto a fornire alle tracce un sapore power, mentre la voce di Silvia è risultata necessaria ad arricchire il sound del gruppo di una venatura gotica, decisamente in linea con l’artwork di Nathan Ramirez.

Lo stile base delle tracce si muove su binari heavy metal, con tratti squisitamente maideniani, ma risulta influenzato da stilemi gothic e doom e impreziosito da momenti melodici e alternanze vocali. Per quanto riguarda propriamente il suono, quindi, troviamo che la velocità ed il ritmo sono tipicamente heavy, con l’unica eccezione di “Frustration”, il cui sound malinconico, nel suo essere diverso da quello delle altre tracce, si manifesta sin dalle prime note. La creatività dimostrata nella composizione della musica si riflette nella trama del concept, (trama che nasce dalla fantasia di Diego): ogni elemento musicale e vocale è strutturato secondo la funzione che assume all’interno della storia. Ecco allora che troviamo l’intro, pezzo in cui si parla della profezia secondo cui il Signore delle Tenebre verrà spodestato da un umile e debole vecchio (il cui nome sarà Agony Flames, appunto), il tutto presentato con spiccato misticismo; le altre tracce ci fanno vedere come la profezia si avvererà, cominciando dalla rabbia di Satana per tale profezia (resa attraverso un ritmo veloce), e dalla frustrazione di questo povero Cristo, figlio della paura e del dolore, che “non ha altro che la sua vita” (traccia dalle note malinconiche); si arriva poi alla frenesia della battaglia tra i due, idea resa bene in musica da un pezzo completamente strumentale, sino a giungere alla supremazia di Agony, nuovo sovrano oscuro, resa attraverso un sound imponente ed epico. I brani contenuti in “Hidden Tale”, nella loro completa stesura, sia dei riff, linee vocali, arrangiamenti, sia dei testi, sono frutto del lavoro e della creatività di Diego Grancini, che ha anche provveduto da sé alla produzione e alla registrazione del disco, inciso nel 2007, con il sostanziale apporto delle conoscenze musicali di Francesco Bergami.

Il gruppo sta già lavorando a un secondo progetto che, oltre a proporre nella formazione due nuovi membri, Franco Moncelsi al basso e Gabriele Achilli alle tastiere, metterà in luce il percorso compiuto dalla band dal punto di vista compositivo e tecnico: non più solo voci pulite, come in “Hidden Tale”, ma anche inserti sporchi, growl e scream, e sonorità cupe e malinconiche. Naturalmente ritroveremo, come figura predominante del nuovo progetto, il personaggio il cui futuro rimane qui in sospeso: Agony Flames.
