Althea formed in Milan from an idea of ​​the guitarist Dario Bortot and bassist Fabrizio Zilio with the object of developing a free-of-schemes progressive metal rock project. With the entrance in the line up of the keyboardist Marco Zambardi the band produced a number of demo tapes and played live in many venues in northern Italy, also participating in several musical contests.
With Sergio Sampietro on drums and Alessio Accardo on vocals joining the band, the Althea line up stabilized and the group resumed live performances in several of the Milan clubs, including the LiveMi event in Piazza Duomo.

    December 8th, 2016
  • "...la musica degli Althea saprà sorprendervi con un continuo ed entusiasmante cambio di atmosfere, dove i momenti topici sono quelli in cui l’anima intimista e sperimentale prende il comando dello spartito regalando momenti di ottima musica progressiva, con i vari intermezzi che non risultano riempitivi ma fondamentali momenti acustici ed atmosferici (A New Beginning, Drag Me Down e la title track) e tracce capolavoro come Halfway Of Me, Leave It For Tonight (brano progressivo dai rimandi beatlesiani), con la ballad Last Overwhelming Velvet Emotion (L.O.V.E.), dallo smisurato impatto emotivo".

  • “Althea prove that they have uncanny chops and the capacity to make a phenomenal progressive metal album on Eleven. "Just a Man," "1.000 Storey Tall," and "Lies" all have that spark needed to light a fire under prog fans old and new and burn for days on repeat.”
