Astarte Syriaca
Darkened Light
Astarte Syriaca are born in 2003 with the intention to propose an innovative and eclectic prog-metal sound. The band plays live in some of the most famous roman clubs (Cube, Alpheus) and takes part of some events organized by the municipality (Roma 70 Live). The sound of the band is characterized by a metal-progressive style and the drummer Gabriele Valerio (Theatres des Vampires) gives it his good contribution for the time when he collaborates with the band. In 2004 the recording of promo-cd "Astarte Syriaca" is committed to "16th Cellar Studios" in Rome. "Kick Promotion Agency", which represents some of the national underground most in sight bands, takes care of the promo diffusion by radios, music magazines and web magazines. They wrote about them: "Italy is proving to be a country more and more rich in musicians and composers. It's just the matter of the roman Astarte Syriaca" (www.heavymetal.it).
