Ithaca

Double Gatefold Vinyl edition of the legendary epic/progressive band from Italy, DARK QUARTERER (formed in 1980)! Licensed from Metal On Metal Records, "Ithaca" is a concept album inspired by the 1911 poem of the same title by a Greek poet, Konstantinos P. Kavafis (Constantine P. Cavafy), who used Odysseus's travel from the Trojan Wars back to his home-island as a metaphor for the journey of life, where the goal is not important, but the journey itself. Stylistically, it's a mix of '80s epic heavy metal with '70s progressive rock, and some elements of doom.DARK QUARTERER's music is very warm, full of various emotions and moods, much thanks to the impressive vocals, ranging from mystical and fragile, through more eccentric singing and falsettos, to full-on powerful metal delivery. Overall, it's the most versatile album of this band that has developed and maintained their unique recognizable style, which should appeal to fans of ADRAMELCH, MANILLA ROAD, THUNDER RIDER,SLOUGH FEG, HAMMERS OF MISFORUNE, VAVEL, CIRITH UNGOL, as well as Italian prog rock bands like THE TRIP, GOBLIN, MUSEO ROSENBACH or BIGLIETTO PER L'INFERNO.
