Biglino

Controversial and fascinating, Italian band VERGANTI bring a fierce and uncompromising creationist fervour to their music. Formed in 2015 and with a sound firmly rooted in a wide range of Italian and worldwide prog-rock influences, its members hold firm beliefs about the history of the world and what they consider its extra-terrestrial origins to be. The founders of the project were initially intrigued by theories offered in Giuseppe Alaimo's book `The Atlantis Enigma' (which proposed that founders of the fabled city of Atlantis were in fact a colony of aliens from outer space), and a second work `The Bible Does Not Talk to God'. Written from a historical and scientific perspective by Mauro Biglino, a scholar and translator of ancient languages, the latter presented a re-telling of the Bible in the original language in which it was written, but from the perspective of a `historical' book instead of a religious or spiritual one.
