Founded in Genoa in 2007, CDZ released their very well regarded, self-titled first album in 2011 and have continued to return every few years with a new album.
This is their fourth release and the band are certainly in the forefront of modern bands performing Rock Progressivo Italiano.
"’A Better Life’ marks the awaited return of the Genoese band ‘The Consciousness of Zero’.
This opus represents a further step forward in the band 's evolution and, first of all, shows a better and wider teamwork in terms of songwriting, an aspect that makes this work more heterogeneous and solid than the previous ones. The music is positively affected, thanks to a series of guest musicians, from the point of view of music arrangements The Consciousness of Zeno can be enjoyed in the past.
With the roots still firmly anchored to the classic Italian prog in the likes of Banco del Mutuo Soccorso and Locanda delle Fate, the sextet has produced seven complex and multi-faceted tracks, which will require several plays to be completely assimilated.
A long-awaited return, which will not disappoint the expectations of those who loved their previous work and that once again place the band in the progressive élite of this decade.”
