Description/Reviews: 

The album, divided into five long tracks, is as usual characterized by the dark atmospheres that we already encountered in the band’s first two records; the sound and the production are far more modern than the past ones, but echoes of the ’70s progressive rock music are still very present, as they’ve always been a trademark for the group. “Frammenti notturni” is not a concept album in the true sense of the word, but its lyrics have some common themes, such as the urban setting and the obstacles that interferes with communication among humans.

Description/Reviews: 

Unreal City are a young band from Parma, who present a symphonic prog-rock with strong dark and gothic influences. In June 2012 Unreal City released a self-produced EP and were therefore contacted by Fabio Zuffanti (Hostsonaten, La Maschera Di Cera, Finisterre…), who
decided to produce the band's first album for the label Mirror Records.“La Crudeltà Di Aprile” contains surprisingly mature music, mixed with modern lyrics, that were written in English first, and then translated back to Italian, to clearly transmit the album’s message. The thread that binds tightly the stories tells about corruption of things and people, changes, and self evolution.
