ALTAIR: POWER/PROG METAL BAND
Altair is an italian power-prog metal band which debuted in 2013 with the first full length called "Lost Eden".
The first single from the album won an important online contest whose first prize was the collaboration of Fabio Lione from Rhapsody, who recorded for Altair the track "Power of the gods".
Altair played in clubs and festival all around Italy, sometimes sharing the stage with important artists like Freedom Call, Fabio Lione, Trick or Treat, Kaledon, Vanexa, Sabotage and in an open air festival in Kiev with Blind Guardian and Rotting Christ.
In October 2016 after some changes of musical style and line-up, the band recorded at Domination Studio with Simone Mularoni the second full length, called "Descending: A Devilish Comedy", which is gonna be release at the end of springtime 2017 via Sleaszy Rider Records.
Descending presents a much modern and heavy sound totally different from the first works of the band.
It's a concept album who runs through the circles of hell, which exist only in our minds, where all the fears, vices, virtues and the dark side of the human kind are showed in the form of a theatre comedy.
