La Maschera di Cera was founded in 2001 as a tribute to the sound of ’70s Italian progressive rock, on the initiative of Fabio Zuffanti who gathered around him keyboardist Agostino Macor, drummer Marco Cavani (from his other band Finisterre), singer Alessandro Corvaglia and flutist Andrea Monetti.

After a self-titled debut (2002) that had been hailed as “the best Italian prog album since the Alphataurus era”, the even more complex and ambitious “Il grande labirinto” followed just one year later: La Maschera di Cera then managed to extend their live activity outside Italy.

This second volume of the “Live from the past” resumes the song “Del mio mondo che crolla” from the band’s first record, and contains three cuts from “Il grande labirinto”, including the complete 36-minute suite “Il viaggio nell’oceano capovolto”! The set ends with another tribute to the giants of British progressive rock, with the cover version of King Crimson’s “In the wake of Poseidon”.
