Chitral Somapala - Vocals Aldo Lonobile - Guitars

CIVILIZATION ONE is an international musical entity in the power
metal genre. They are currently working on their debut album Revolution
Rising to be released soon.

Vocalist Chitral Somapala is highly regarded for his former work with
critically acclaimed bands. Bringing his mastery of creating memorable
melody lines to CIVILIZATION ONE, Chitral's unique vocals are
reminiscent of Scorpions' Klaus Meine during the Love drive era, while
at other times his aggressive singing reminds one of Ronnie James Dio,
circa Black Sabbath's Mob Rules.
Guitar shredder Aldo Lonobile is a veteran of the Italian metal scene
with his band Secret Sphere, who have released four albums including
their latest effort, Heart & Anger on Nuclear Blast Records. Aldo
unleashes his blazing neoclassical fret work in CIVILIZATION ONE,
inspired by Jason Becker, Sebastian Bach, Nicolo Paganini, John Petrucci,
and Yngwie Malmsteen, as well as musically challenging bands such as
Symphony X, Helloween, Savatage, and Megadeth.
Drummer Luca Cartasegna is a greatly skilled player, noted for his
double bass work and lightning fast hands. Luca recorded three albums
with CIVILIZATION ONE band mate Aldo Lonobile in Secret Sphere,
including Scent of Human Desire, A Time Nevercome and Mistress of the
Shadowlight.
Luca amicably left Secret Sphere after the release of Scent Of Human
Desire due to musical differences, but has found the perfect outlet for
his percussive skills in CIVILIZATION ONE. Pierre-Emmanuel Polisson
brings exceptional bass playing prowess to CIVILIZATION ONE, as well as
his love for power, aggression and melody.
Having been influenced by such technical acts as Nevermore, Symphony
X, Death, Cynic, and Pestilence, Pierre-Emmanuel is noted for his
playing in his former group, acclaimed French power metal act Heavenly,
as well as his current band, rising metal act Maladaptive.
CIVILIZATION ONE... timeless heavy metal with neoclassical, symphonic
aggression. |
