Prometheo: Vintage for brevity…..
Prometheo - Quello Che Rimane

Prometheo is as the name suggests inspired by the myth of the Titan famous for the theft of fire to the Olympic gods. Prometheo is also inspired of the classical music, to the iconic concept albums of the seventies and eighties and to all those sounds that today we would call vintage for brevity. After a period dedicated to iconic covers of the progressive genre, the band decided to devote itself to composition. Quello Che Rimane is the new and sophomore album from Prometheo and Lena is the chosen single.
Blood to blood
unfortunately I would say,
if genes bind us
as they explain
days like this?
It is strange looking at you
subdued, docile.
After years of hunger
and the knife between his teeth
to look for why.
Blood of blood
once you and me.
Until the front
to my nothing you have
really revealed who you are.
Show me again
how to satiate in front
to the remnants of an empty table.
Hyena.
You rocked me tight
and sharpened your canines
just for me.
Hidden in the pack
you lived like that.
Holding a grudge
covering up with excuses
silences and voids.
It’s kind of looking at you,
smell you today.
Like sitting beasts
on lost years
spent between us.
Hyena in the pack
You waited like this.
the perfect time
with blood that slow
stopped the body.
Show me again
how to satiate in front
to the remnants of an empty table,
how to blow my dreams
hanging from your different smiles.
Hyena.
You rocked me tight
and sharpened your canines
just for me.
In this hot August and waited
Make yourself and the same demands
of the time that has torn from absence
Only the deception of human presence.
As if it hadn’t been there
As if there was no distance
as if dreams were enough
to burn a life in the wind.

Prometheo was born in 2008 in Bari, Apulia, Italy. The progressive rock band is inspired by concept albums, odd times signatures, mythology and vintage vibes from ’70s and ’80s. The love for Italian progressive wave, in particular PFM, Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso, Area and for international strongholds of the genre such as Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Yes and Genesis moved the band through the study of the iconic covers that made progressive great. The title track Quello Che Rimane ( What Remains),
After a long period of live venues in local pubs and theatres, the band started the composition of their first concept album, ‘D’un Fuoco Rapito, D’un Giovane Uomo, D’un Amore Insensato, based on the myth of Prometheus, the famous Titan who stole the fire from Olympic Gods and donated it to mankind. The myth is played in 10 songs tinged with hard rock, funk, and songwriting, classical and blues, with catchy guitar riffs and phrenic parts in unison.
In 2018 the band reached the final in Premio Massara contest (Lucca, Italy) and in 2019 they took part in Barezzi Road contest, with a progressive reinterpretation of the lyrical air ‘Questa O Quella Per Me Pari Sono from Giuseppe Verdi’s Rigoletto. In the same year, the band won a record production with Regione Puglia, Puglia Sounds and Teatro Pubblico Pugliese, and in October 15 their first album was released. D’un Fuoco Rapito, D’un Giovane Uomo, D’un Amore Insensato tour started in the late 2019 with several tour dates in Apulia and in the rest of Italy.
