The Ancient Veil

Italian progressive rock group formed by members who split from Eris Pluvia; known for pastoral, Canterbury-tinged sound and a celebrated live album recorded in Genoa.

Review identifies saxophonist Edmondo Romano and guitarist/singer Alessandro Serri as members who left Eris Pluvia to form Ancient Veil. The band's music is described as Canterbury-influenced, pastoral and melancholic. The live album Rings Of Earthly...Live documents two concerts at La Claque in Genoa and features a nearly 18-minute re-enactment of the suite "Rings Of Earthly Light" with Valeria Caucino on vocals. The review notes guest appearances by Fabio Zuffanti and Stefano Marelli (Finisterre) and mentions reissues/remastering by Lizard Records and distribution by Black Widow Records.
