The Profile

Il Segno del Comando is a Genoese dark/progressive rock studio project founded in 1995, led by bassist Diego Banchero (with Mercy cited in early formation). Their early work pays homage to 70s Italian prog and to the 1971 RAI TV drama/novel “Il Segno del Comando,” while later albums form a concept path strongly connected to the esoteric novels of Gustav Meyrink (e.g., Der Golem, Il Volto verde, Il Domenicano Bianco).

From the reviews: formed in Genoa in 1995; debut album released in 1997; long inactivity noted from 2002 to 2010; described as dark progressive with gothic/new wave and at times gothic-metal/experimental elements; Diego Banchero is repeatedly identified as bassist, founder/mastermind and a key lyric/concept author; multiple releases are associated with Black Widow (label/distribution) and later with Nadir Music (production/partnership), with live recording referenced at “Gala delle Nobili Sinfonie” in Pesaro and bonus tracks from a Dutch concert in 2022.

Reviews portray Il Segno del Comando as a Genoese dark-prog studio project rooted in 70s Italian prog and horror-cinema atmospheres. Recurring themes include esotericism and concept narratives, notably the 1971 RAI TV drama/novel "Il Segno del Comando" and Gustav Meyrink’s novels. Der Golem is repeatedly framed as a milestone, while later works broaden into gothic-metal, electronics, and a renewed live energy. Overall sentiment is strongly appreciative, highlighting atmosphere, lyrics, and theatrical vocals.
