Aphelion (6)

Aphelion is an italian instrumental project formed on 2004 by Alessandro Bertoni (keyboards), Sebastiano Pozzobon (bass), Matteo Gasparin (guitars), Enrico Pintonello (drums) and featuring a mixture of technical progressive and fusion/jazz styles. Aphelion is NOT another, useless, “hipertechnicalsoulless” band, instead, the main goal is to reach an unique, signature and groovy sound encompassing progressive, rock/fusion, technical metal, jazz ,experimental sides. Maybe the music is a little complex and needs many listens before being totally appreciated but often art is for art's sake.
