Eidos

Description

Since the release of 2013 s In Crescendo, Kingcrow toured North America in support of Pain Of Salvation, and headlined a European tour. Kingcrow kept busy in 2014, touring Europe in support of Fates Warning and at the same time crafting the material that would become Eidos. Eidos is a new conceptual album about choices, consequences, dealing with regret and disillusion. Their earlier album Phlegethon dealt with childhood and In Crescendo about the end of youth. Eidos can be considered the third part of a trilogy about the path of life. Musically it sees the band exploring new territories and pushing the extremes of its complex soundscape with a darker atmosphere and a more progressive attitude.Describing the band today is quite a difficult task, but one could state that the influence of such artists as Porcupine Tree, Riverside, Opeth, Anathema, Pink Floyd, Meshuggah , Radiohead , King Crimson and Massive Attack are all present in the music of Kingcrow. With each release Kingcrow has taken a step further away from their original roots as a classic metal band and is now one of the most personal and exciting bands that Italy has to offer.
