On May 27th, the Russian Progressive/Power Melodic metallers CONCORDEA released their debut full-length album “Over Wide Spaces”.

Formed in 2012 in the city of Ekaterinburg, CONCORDEA have since your beginning the proposal to make a creative and different sound, mixing great keyboards arrangements, heavy guitars, progressive and atmospheric and dark parts, and very personal lyrics, a little poetic, inspired by great Russian writers, like Alexander Pushkin. The band has an interesting description of their music: “A world of contrast combinations. Here you will find anxious presentiment and cheerfulness, joyful lyricism and attacking aggression, hard drum rhythms and tender melodies, airy keyboard roulades and heavy guitar sound.”

The band released the EP “Before the Sunrise”, in 2014, and after several line-up changes, the founding members and composers Daria Piankova (guitars and lyrics) and Aleksei Turetckov (Keyboards, arrangements) invited Ilya Reyngard (bass player from Russian band Incarnator), and Filippo Tezza (Chronosfear, Tezza F.), promising Italian singer, to finally finish their debut album, “Over Wide Spaces”, which was produced by the band and mixed/mastered by T A Productions (Ukraine), and the beautiful art cover by Italian designer Gaspare Frazzitta.
