Goad: Art in music….
Goad - La Belle Dame

Goad is art in music. The opera La Belle Dame was released May 7, 2021 on CD and digital and July 16, 2021 the vinyl edition was released. La Belle Dame is the new album to the Italian band Goad and the music is even more sophisticated, deep and fascinating than ever before. The sound is dark and the lyrics guide you through a dark labyrinth of emotional elements and pay tribute to the English poet John Keats. Goad delivers on the new album their own and subtle version of prog but is inspired of classic band as Van Der Graaf Generator, King Crimson, PFM, Procol Harum etc.

Goad is an historical group from Florence, Italy. The band was formed in 1974 and is the concept of the brothers Maurilio Rossi and Gianni Rossi. For more than a decade the group performed every night at the Space Electronic in Florence where it was noticed by Freddy Mercury (Queen) who brought it to the attention of managers and labels.
Goad moved onto the underground Italian market by 1988 and their major project was the transposition of Edgar Allan Poe’s lyrics in music combined to staging and dance. They self-produced Tribute to Edgar Allan. Poe.
