Il Bacio Della Medusa

Il Bacio Della Medusa
The project called \“Il Bacio Della Medusa\” (Medusa's Kiss) was born in September 2002, due to the efforts of and Simone Cecchini (vocals, acoustic guitar), Federico Caprai (bass) and Diego Petrini (drums). An art-music workshop that from the very beginning was based on the extreme attention to lyrics and arrangement.

After several changes within the group (guitarists and keyboard players alternate), the formation becomes stable in 2003 with Eva Morelli (Western Concert flute, piccolo flute, alto saxophone) that with the wind instruments will add creativity to the new group and Simone Brozzetti (guitar) that will bring a definitely blues rock sound and a very instinctive and incisive style.

In April 2004, the BDM after a year and a half of work goes into the recording studio, the project was realized in June 2004 with the creation of self-produced first album, the self-titled Il bacio della Medusa ("Medusa's Kiss").

In January 2005 Daniele Rinchi joins the group and with his violin will give a major contribution to the redefinition of the sound of the BDM which will undergo a further evolution with the help of new instruments to which Petrini's Mellotron must be added.

In May 2005 Black Widow Records is entrusted with the distribution of the first disc, while in September of the same year the BDM retires to the studio for the creation of new work: the concept album Discesa agl'inferi di un giovane amante ("Sheol descent of a young lover") which will see the light of day in May 2006.

In these months, the group continues to publicize the previous disc and start testing the new songs revisiting their live performance. In September 2006 the group signs a record deal with Black Widow Records for the reissue of the first work and the production of the new disc (LP-CD).

From 2008 to 2010 the group performs on many stages both in Italy and in Europe that will appreciate the uniqueness of its music, ranging with ease from the grammatical prog to temperamentally heavy sound, to a very broad target, fond of live performances that are characterized by the great stage presence of the members. Meanwhile, the major rock and roll journals review the two disks positively by appreciating the skills of the artists. In the summer of 2010 the violinist Daniel Rinchi leaves the band and the BDM closes the group with the actual arrangement. At the same time the group begins the writing of a new album Deus lo vult in June 2011 and enters the studio for the recordings.

In July 2011, the BDM leaves Black Widow Records and, aiming to the growth in terms of image, arrives at an experimental advertising project coordinated by Glare Art & Communications, which aims at raising the value of the band and at making it more attractive to new record labels.
