DESCRIPTION:
The Rome Pro (G)ject II - Of Fate And Glory - Foretaste 1
(with many thanks to Massimiliano Celindano)

The Rome Pro(G)ject are back!
Three and ½ years after the huge success of their eponymus debut album, “The Rome Pro(G)ject”, namely Steve Hackett on guitars (Genesis/Gtr/Solo), David Jackson on winds (VDGG), Billy Sherwood on bass (Yes/Circa/Solo) and Vincenzo Ricca (keyboards), teamed up with a bunch of fantastic musicians, is going to release their second album, “II - Of Fate and Glory”.
67 minutes of instrumental progressive rock in 10 tracks plus a bonus one.
As per its title, it is a (musical) story of fate and the glory about ancient Rome, from its beginning, in 753 b.C., up to its maximum territorial expansion, reached in 117 a.C., after 870 years of continuous conquests of the then known world.
Not coincidentally, the cd album is released on April 21st., in the day of the 2769th anniversary of Rome’s foundation.
The cd album will be released and distributed worldwide on a successful independent basis through TRP Records, a virtual label that is meant to promote everything revolves around “The Rome Pro(G)ject”.
A surreal video in high definition, starred by Steve Hackett and Vincenzo Ricca, directed by Giorgio Clementelli, will be more than an intriguing anticipation!
