da Vinci's Demons

After the fall of Rome, Italy fell into a dark sleep, and wasn't reawakened until the 11th century. Autonomous city-states emerged and these tiny republics began to revitalize their cities and build on a massive level not witnessed since the rise of Rome. In the late 15th and 16th centuries, alliances among various city-states continually shifted as foreign superpowers tried to sink their claws into Italy.

Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519) gilt als eines der größten Universalgenies der Menschheitsgeschichte. Der Schöpfer der Mona Lisa war nicht nur Maler, sondern auch Bildhauer, Architekt, Anatom, Mechaniker, Ingenieur und Naturphilosoph. Da Vinci beschäftigte sich auch mit Musik, entwickelte Musikinstrumente und komponierte.

Leonardo da Vinci’s Book of Secrets reveals the genius of his extraordinary mindscape by examining his private journals and bringing his drawings and writings to life. His journals contain a wealth of material that represents his stream of consciousness: his passion, obsession, reflection, ambition, philosophy and frustration. He takes us on a magical journey into our own world as seen through his eyes allowing us to experience his powers of observation, lateral thought and huge diversity of obsessions in a way we can all relate to.

Researchers claim there are hidden messages that can be found within the works of Leonardo da Vinci–and other art throughout history–that may reveal an extraterrestrial influence.

Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the signing of Demons Down, a new band featuring two talented up-and-coming musicians - vocalist James Robledo (Sinner's Blood) and guitarist Francesco Savino (False Memories) - along with hard rock scene veterans guitarist Jimi Bell (House Of Lords, Autograph), drummer Ken Mary (ex-House of Lords, Alice Cooper, Fifth Angel) and bassist Chuck Wright (Quiet Riot, ex-House Of Lords). Debut album "I Stand" sees this gathering of young performers and established skill players delivering a quintessential classic hard rock album. Demons Down traffics in a hard rock sound that references the late 80s/early 90s movement where massive hooks, huge melodies and lush keyboards were the order of the day. But this is no simple exercise in paying tribute to yesteryear as the music rocks hard to compliment the vocal talents of Robledo (who has sonically been compared to the likes of Jorn Lande and Russell Allen). Fans of early House Of Lords material and their sonic peers from that time period as well as Robledo's debut solo album, "Wanted Man", will have much to enjoy here.
