Absenthia biography (http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=4562)
ABSENTHIA is an Italian prog band from Vicenza that was formed in 2005. The line up features Igor Daoconte (vocals), Alberto Saccozza (bass), Massimiliano Piazzon (drums), Enrico Baù (keyboards), and Paolo Miotti (guitar), previously also with Ferruccio Caoduro (guitar). Their music blends influences ranging from PFM, BMS and Le Orme to folk, Italian melody and prog metal in a very original and convincing way.
The band has a strong theatrical approach, with the operatic vocals of Igor Daoconte in the forefront. The history of Ancient Rome is the main source of inspiration for the lyrics of their debut album, the excellent self produced "Tenebrae Vincunt", which was released in 2009.
The follow up album, Novecento, which was self-produced and released in 2016, continues in the same vein as the debut.
