* * ERGOT PROJECT COMES BACK WITH AN ORIGINAL CONCEPT ALBUM * *
Established in 2014 on the initiative of multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Christian Marras,Ergot Project made its debut two years later on AMS Records with an intriguing heavy/electro/prog revisitation of famous Beatles songs (“Beat-Less”, EXT1602CD).
Almost ten years later, with the remarkable participation of legendary drummer Pat Mastelotto, Christian and Ergot Project return with something completely different: an excellent step forward in the form of “A Family Secret”, a concept album freely based on the story of Billy Milligan, known for a famous case of multiple personality disorder that caused a sensation in the United States in the 70s.
Through the narrative expedient of biographical storytelling, the album presents an allegory of the multiple inner voices that inhabit each individual: fears, desires, struggles, and weaknesses.
The result is a music voyage that oscillates between progressive rock and electronic experimentation, where dense, layered atmospheres drive the listener through an emotional labyrinth where nothing is as it seems.
