ASHRAM is a legendary
and extremely gifted Italian band, working in the Dark Wave / Neoclassical genre
with ambient / atmospheric influences.
The band was formed in 1997 when Sergio
Panarella (vocals) and Luigi Rubino (piano) started collecting ideas.
During the
process of writing their first songs the duo invited Alfredo (edo) Nortarloberti
to be part of the project.
With this line-up the band recorded eleven songs
and included seven selected ones on the demo "For My Sun", self-released in
1998, followed by an appearance on Energeia's compilation “Intimations of
Immortality Vol. 5” with the song "Spirit of the Rising Moon".
2001 ASHRAM signed with the French label
Prikosnovenie for the release of self-titled debut album „Ashram“, accompanied
by live shows in Italy and Europe.
2006 ASHRAM released „Shining Silver Skies“
(on the Portuguese label Equilibrium), which was enthusiastically reviewed in
magazines and the band started to perform countless international shows and
produced music for advertising soundtracks too.
In 2010 Dying Art Productions
released the DVD “Gathered under Shining Silver Skies”, which is an amazing
document of the bands first and very successful live tour in China 2009.
Ashram is now presenting their much overdue and
eagerly expected third full-length album "Human and Divine" , featuring 13
timeless songs: just voice, violin, piano, guitar and… wonderful melodies and
moods!
