Tragodia

In 1996, the industrialized, Northern Italy-situated city of Brescia was the perfect place for Tragodia to be born and for their music to start being shaped. Years have past since then. Years of truly dedicated musical research across the domain(s) of gloomy yet melodic metal. The band was born as a quintet consisting of life-time friends Francesco Lupi (guitars), Lorenzo Marchello (bass) and Daniele Valseriati (drums), plus Giovanni Maffeis (vocals) and Carlo Salvoni (keyboards).
After releasing in 1998 a critical-acclaimed demo-tape, ('Dramas in splendent realms'), a self-produced mini-CD in 2001 ('All our miseries'), facing several line-up changes, getting their first record deal with Dutch label Dark Balance Records and releasing the first official full-length album in 2007 (the critically-acclaimed 'The Promethean legacy'), gigging here and there (even in Greece and Norway!), signing a new contract with My Graveyard Productions in 2011, Tragodia set January the 16th 2012 as the release date for their sophomore album 'Theomachy'. Mastered once again at Finnvox Studios by Mika Jussila (who already handled mastering duties for 'The Promethean legacy'), 'Theomachy' sees the band engage in new musical domains and surely marks a step forward from where Tragodia left with their previous effort.
Current line up: Luca Meloni – vocals; Francesco Lupi – guitars, keyboards, additional vocals; Riccardo Tonoli – guitars; Luca Paderno – bass; Daniele Valseriati – drums and percussion
