Italian Progressive Metal
Official site of italian progressive metal band Wood of Light. Wood of Light is a Progressive Metal Band like Dream Theater, Pain of Salvation, Opeth, but is like also Muse, Queen and many other bands!
Wood of Light are Osvaldo Indriolo, Mirco Brunello, Simone Colman, Damiano De Marchi and Davide Schimd. The last album is Feelikescaping produced by Frank Andiver: creating a “new” style is a great ambition in the huge music scene which in recent years, with the spread of networks, has been greatly enriched. The main aim was to separate from the common solutions of composition, especially of the progressive genre, adopting alternatives balanced to an overall outcome of usability. The search of a new and personal sound brought to drastic stylistic choices: the long instrumental parts, typical of progressive music, have been reduced to the essential or even deleted, the songs were deliberately written to have a short length, the solos were object of “emotional” study rather than “technical”.
The end result is a progressive style that, despite the obvious metal similarities, tries to overlook pop music.
We wanted to play with elegant contrasts between refined music and accessible melodic lines, stylistic choice adopted mainly for the chorus, or for some instrumental parts where metal rhythms “support” catchy funky/ jazz melodies.
