INFINITE RISING
Italian instrumentalists shredding their way through outer space.
THE TWISTED TERRORS from the minds of HP Lovecraft and manga horror maestro Junji Ito meet Japanese pop and sci-fi cinema in the musical melting pot of Italian instrumental trio Infinite Rising. The band’s self-styled spatial prog inhabits the same corner of the cosmos as Plini, LTE and Animals As Leaders, and their upcoming album Awakening is a thrilling voyage into the nexus between prog, fusion, J-pop and film scores. It’s a style the trio developed with the first song they composed together, Cosmic Sunset.“We imagined the lights of a sunset mixed with space atmospheres,” says bassist Silvia Pistolesi.“We didn’t think about composing ‘prog music’; we thought about playing what we liked, making music that makes us feel good and proud, and then prog came out as a result.”
