SKU

A quintet of vocals, dual guitars, keyboards, bass & drums, this was released on the highly collectable Trident label in 1973.
"Semiramis is one the many "one-shot" bands of 70's Italy. Their only album, , is one of my favourite albums of 70's Italian art rock. There are fantastic, heavy progressive passages (especially in the middle of the album) with heavy, intense guitar riffs and guitar leads close to Osanna or Balletto di Bronzo. There are more symphonic, keyboard-led parts as well where Semiramis may sound closer to Yes, Genesis or Banco. Short acoustic interludes form brief resting points in the endless stream of scorching guitar riffs, melodic keyboards lines, beautiful symphonic themes, etc. Although the musicians of Semiramis may not be as accomplished as some members of the bands above, they make up for it with their relentless energy and amazing intensity. A fantastic album."-Gnosis/Sjef Oellers
