THE FORTY DAYS, una nuova gemma dal Neorinascimento Progressivo Toscano !!
Le coordinate sono nitidamente targate Pink Floyd, secondi Marillion, Porcupine Tree, ma potrebbe non significare molto se non fosse che il giovane quartetto pisano-livornese sa scrivere splendide canzoni, caratterizzate dalla vocalità intensa ed elegante di Giancarlo Padula (anche tastierista) e dal pathos della chitarra Gilmouriana di Dario Vignale. Completano la line-up, altrettanto efficacemente, Massimo Valloni al basso e Giorgio Morreale alla batteria.
Una nuova talentuosa band si affaccia dunque al nuovo panorama progressive italiano, attrezzata di un brillante sound neo-prog a tinte psichedeliche dal respiro internazionale.
Ogni brano di “The Colour of Change” (sette in tutto, di cui uno strumentale) sa palesare una scrittura significativa assieme ad un lirismo ed un’espressività sempre di grande tensione melodica ed emozionale.
THE FORTY DAYS diventa da subito una possibile rivelazione, ad attestare, insieme ai già apprezzati EVELINE’S DUST e BASTA! (tanto per rimanere in Toscana e in casa LIZARD RECORDS) un livello ed una vitalità del nuovo prog-rock davvero ragguardevoli
THE FORTY DAYS, a new gem from the Tuscan Progressive-Rock Neo-Renaissance !!
The sound’s references are clearly Pink Floyd, Marillion, Porcupine Tree, but over all the young quartet from Pisa-Livorno knows how to write great songs, characterized by the elegant and intense vocals of Giancarlo Padula (also keyboardist) and the Gilmour’s style pathos of the guitarist Dario Vignale. The line-up is completed by the bass player Massimo Valloni and Giorgio Morreale on the drums.
A new talented band is therefore facing the new progressive Italian scene, with a brilliant neo-prog sound and psychedelic shades. A sound with an international breath.
Every track of “The Colour of Change” (seven, included one instrumental) shows a significant song-writing, with a lyricism and an expressiveness of great melodic and emotional tension.
THE FORTY DAYS becomes immediately a possible new italian prog-revelation, together the already appreciated EVELINE’S DUST and BASTA! (remaining in Tuscany and at LIZARD RECORDS), and consolidates the excellent level and vitality of the new italian prog-rock.

I The Forty Days vengono da Pisa e Livorno e si possono definire una band progressive rock, ma con evidenti contaminazioni art/rock, pop/rock e rock psichedelico.
Le influenze principali sono Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Steven Wilson, Marillion, David Gilmour, Calibro 35, Supertramp, Led Zeppelin e molti altri, in altre parole tutti quelli artisti che hanno provato a mischiare prog/rock/psichedelia con una certa componente melodica.
La formazione attuale del gruppo è attiva da settembre 2015, periodo dopo il quale la band inizia una discreta attività live e soprattutto a pensare seriamente alla stesura del primo album.
Questo disco è venuto alla luce nel 2017 ed è intitolato The Colour of Change: è un concept album che parla di situazioni, pensieri e paure di un uomo alla soglia dei 30 anni nella nostra epoca.
The Colour of Change, registrato all’Indiependente Studio di Edoardo Magoni a Putignano (Pisa), esce ufficialmente il 28 ottobre 2017 in collaborazione con la label Lizard Records.
