| VENTURIA are a new classic
prog metal sensation hailing from France with their music being
a mix of metal, clean pop-melodies, technical progressive rock and
high virtuosity. The band has already gained a reputation in France
as being “the future of metal”. The music on “The
New Kingdom” is a filtered blend of the bands influences with
the final product unique to VENTURIA. This sound offers something
for everyone from the heavy, to the pop influences. The progressive
side and high-virtuosity will please all the musicians, and both
male and female fans will be able to relate to Venturia’s very
talented and beautiful female singer. All these things mixed together
make VENTURIA different from the norm. VENTURIA was formed in 2000
by French guitarist CHARLY SAHONA and drummer DIEGO RAPACCHIETTI,
who had already made a name for himself through his great playing
with artists like Zero, Paganini and BPM. Charly had previously
worked with various French artists and participated on the Shawn
Lane tribute record "Shawn Lane Remembered", released
on Lion Music. Bass player THOMAS JAMES later joined the band and
added his versatile talents to VENTURIA's music. Male vocalist MARC
FERREIRA is a solo artist from New York who shares vocal lines with
VENTURIA's female vocalist LYDIE ROBIN. The pop/rock-like singing
of Marc (reminiscing that of Savage Garden vocalist Darren Hayes)
contrasts with the pure, clean and sensual female voice of Lydie
Robin, creating a fantastic blend of aggressive and melodic vocal
duet lines. To complete the line-up, KEVIN CODFERT (voted best keyboardist of the year 2004 for the magazine "Castle of Pagan" for his playing with the band Adagio) was invited to share the guitar/keyboards parts with Charly on the record. Kevin appears as a guest artist in VENTURIA. |
