ESSENZA was born in 1993, when the young guitarist Carlo and his
brother Alex, bass-guitar player, started to play in many
rock-clubs and festivals of South Italy. At first, other members
collaborate with the band on voice, guitar and keyboards. Luca, the
youngest brother, joined Essenza as drummer and arranger, and
enriched the essenza-sound playing string and keyboards. Their music
was an explosive cocktail of blues, hard-rock, rock and roll, prog-rock
with classical italian pop-music influences.
After the release of two demo-cds ("Essenza" and "Algoritmo
60", in 1996 and in 1998 respectively) they increased the
heaviness of the sound and elaborated an original melodic heavy-rock
style, inspired to the monsters of international heavy-metal (Deep
Purple, Black Sabbath, Ac/Dc, Judas Priest, Van Halen...), but with
italian lyrics.
Kick Promotion Agency
signed the band in 2000, and then they recorded two studio-albums: "Suggestioni"
(2000) and "Contrasto" (2002). In November 2004 Luca
left the band and was replaced by the drummer Paolo (from the bands
Abash/Shade Out).
In april of 2006, in the occasion of the 13th anniversary of ESSENZA
establishment, the band releases "XIII Anniversary live"
(full available on-line), an unofficial recording of a performance
in Bari-Italy, containing original songs and covers.
In 2007, the band promoted the new mini-cd "Dance of
liars" containing english lyrics (for the first time)
and "deep into your eyes" videoclip.
New cd "Devil's breath"
coming soon (BigMud Records) in 2009.
