CD/DVD Releases: Daniele Liverani New Project Cosmics To Release CD In April

Posted on Saturday, April 05 @ 22:00:00 UTC by nightowl

Daniele Liverani's new project Cosmics mark their debut with the instrumental / experimental concept album The Cosmic Year. The album, a collection of 10 tracks within a melodic and progressive metal setting that are based around the keyboard wizardry of Daniele Liverani (Twinspirits, Genius, Khymera), along with "special guest" drummer Virgil Donati (Steve Vai, Planet X, Ring Of Fire), young guitar hotshot Tommy Ermolli (Twinspirits, Khymera) and respected bassist Rufus Philpot (Planet X), show that progressive music can be both accessible and intelligently written. Each track contains various movements given a sonic reference to specific moments in the evolution of the universe which maintain both a progressive outlook yet work cohesively as a sonic unit and as single entities. Daniele Liverani showcases immense skill in this his most complex, visionary and progressive work to date.



Guitarist Tommy Ermolli's performance will only go to further the reputation this 20 year old has earnt so far. This musical vision is extended further with the stunning rhythm section interaction between Rufus Philpot and Virgil Donati that the listener will have come to expect from their work together in Planet X.

Release date: 18 April 2008 for Lion Music Finland
