Universal Totem Orchestra - Mathematical Mother (2017)
On the borderline of Symphonic and Zeuhl, and not quite new but very recommendable if one can live with the character of the production which admittedly is not easy for me.

They don't seem to be able to get it together. I'm keeping my fingers crossed they eventually will, but the momentum they had in the posts they were making a couple of years ago seems to have dissipated.

A very interesting album released last year that somehow went under the radar (I did a quick search and could not find any mention of it): Cambio della Guardia - S/T (2023). Here are track # 1 & 4 from it:

Some 80s and 90s bands come back.
Arcanciel have a new album out this week
More of an international band: great Psych Folk Prog
New Macroscream is out. I just got the CD yesterday and spun it last night. It's good. I'm still a bit iffy at times on their singer, and some of the lyrics are a bit odd, but the music is decent, and they've done a good job forging their own sound and avoiding a lot of the cliche traps so many Italian bands seem to fall into, imo.

Thx for the heads up, I knew they where doing a new album but thought they died working on it :-)
Funny little wave of 80s Contempo bands having a comeback
After Leviathan and Arcansiel, Nuova Era will follow soon with "20.000 leagues under the sea"
Let's see who else appears again :-) i would like Atons
Yes! So many excellent 80s/90s Italian bands that are mostly forgotten now like Lothlorien, Spirosfera, Aria Palea, A Piedi Nudi, Secret Cinema, Divae, Ezra Winston, and many more...
Just now looking at the Facebook post from Nuova Era regarding 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. He also says Nautilus. The H, do you know anything about this? There was this obscure album by a Swiss band called Nautilus that is close in title, but it would be odd for Walter Pini to reference it right? https://rateyourmusic.com/release/al...under-the-sea/

Is the drummer the only original dude left? Kinda like Skynyrd these, except that they have zero.
New albums by Nuova Era and Ezra Winston would be wonderful news. Now, off to see if they have a Bandcamp presence.
Having bought some stuff on Bandcamp from Ma.Ra.Cash, I get notifications about all their new releases. This one came in the mail the other day:
No they both refer to a book by Jules Verne (where also all those Captain Nemo references come from)

I need a new Nuova Era to make my life better
Really looking forward to it. What a great band. On preorder.
What can this strange device be? When I touch it, it brings forth a sound (2112)
I'll definitely check out a new one from these guys, but I'll approach with caution. I thought Return to the Castle was pretty weak. I was really excited to have Alex Camatti back, but this one just seemed lacking to me. I'm doing a bit of spring cleaning, so I may give this one a fresh listen and decide if I want to hold onto it. Maybe it'll have magically improved since the last time I played it.
On the plus side, after years of finding it so-so, Il Passo Del Soldato has started to grow on me. I think I overlooked this a bit because I was disappointed in Camatti's absence, and the absence of guitar generally, but with repeated listens, I'm coming appreciate this one more.
I still love those first two the most, though. Fun stuff.

Replying to an old thread, since I couldn't find anything relevant on this album (La Nuova Raccomandata con Ricevuta di Ritorno's "In Rock"). I downloaded it from Bandcamp a few years ago and listened to it for maybe the second time yesterday. I really like this short album. The cover of Ozzy Osbourne's "Mr. Crowley" is absolutely wonderful!
Decent Neo-Prog. Enjoyable for what it is. There are moments that sort of touch on The Flower Kings a bit - one melody at the beginning of "Heaven is not Here" especially. As always, I'd rather it be sung in Italian because it's such a beautiful language.

Sezione Frenante with a new song that, hopefully, signals a new album soon to be released
