Seven Seas █ █ features 11 new songs written after the amazing █ █ international tour of the band, who played live in █ █ Japan, USA and Europe. Barock Project are one of █ █ the most followed and appreciated Italian rock █ █ bands abroad since the first album Misteriose Voci █ █ (2007). They are not a prog-rock band like all the █ █ others: they have always wanted to break on █ █ through the boundaries of various genres to pursue █ █ the dream of a fresh and dynamic progressive. █ █ Seven Seas proves it again. █ █ Peter Jones of Camel has written Cold Fog lyrics, █ █ Durga McBroom (Pink Floyd backing vocals) sung in █ █ The Ones; the track I Should Have Learned To is █ █ inspired by Paul Simon: Barock Project draws from █ █ the international pop-rock culture. Seven Seas █ █ talks about intimism, reflections on foreign █ █ tours, colonialism in Africa. Luca Zabbini, Barock █ █ Project mastermind and keyboard player, says: █ █ ôWe donÆt like to repeat ourselves and above all █ █ we try to go beyond prog. For example, in my █ █ playlist there is no progressive except for Steven █ █ Wilson, one of the few who I think goes beyond the █ █ genre in a wise and stimulating way. I would feel █ █ guilty if I were to continue making music that █ █ recalls the records of the Seventies. For me it █ █ would be very æregressive'ö. █ █ Seven Seas is a long awaited album after the █ █ success of Detachment (2017) and the subsequent █ █ foreign tour; the band received a lot of █ █ attention, then enter Aereostella, an important █ █ team that includes giants like PFM. Zabbini points █ █ out: █ █ ôSeven Seas is born during our foreign concerts. I █ █ wrote some songs inspired on out-of-town █ █ experiences like Japan or USA. Traveling, seeing █ █ new places, meeting different people and cultures █ █ has always been for me a source of great █ █ inspiration. Even the events that followed during █ █ the tours were stimulating to write, beautiful or █ █ unpleasant as they were ô. █ █ Luca Zabbini (keyboards, vocals, acoustic █ █ guitars), Alex Mari (lead vocals, acoustic █ █ guitars), Eric Ombelli (drums), Francesco Caliendo █ █ (bass) and Marco Mazzuoccolo (electric guitars) █ █ want to confirm their Italian sound with an █ █ international flavor. █ █ ôEvery culture in the world has something special █ █ that others do not have. The Italian possesses the █ █ melody, it is our strong point, since the 17th █ █ century. Rock bands like PFM have great melodies: █ █ once you have a strong melodic theme, then you can █ █ build around what you want, and then we know how █ █ to do good foodà ô. █ ▓ ▓ ▒ ▒ ░ 1.
