Hailing from Italy, Farther Paint are at the
forefront of a new movement of progressive
metal hailing from the country and were
discovered on myspace. Farther Paint plays
highly technical progressive metal but
always with a keen eye on the song being
the overall important element. Farther Paint
carry the distinction of being fronted by the
soulful female vocals of Monia Rossi, a
voice that is able to convey pure emotion
and adds an exciting element to the bands sound. Musically the band are fronted
by the guitars of Francesco Federici, the keyboards of Gabriele Manocchi all
underpinned by the bass work of Thomas Bianchi and drum monster Luca Prima
whose work here deserves to propel him to the forefront of modern day drum masters.
“Lose Control” is an experimental album where the instrumental parts don't prevail
over the voice, but support it. It's composed by 8 tracks with two purely instrumental
bookends. The first "lose control" is opening while "anger" sum up the whole concept
album bringing it to a turning point. Farther Paint are about conveying an original
sound, which is given prominence by vocals parts and by lyrics. The aim of the lyrics is
to convey the same feelings expressed by the instrumentation. On the bands sound,
the band comment, “It’s a perfect transposition of what we felt inside, in our heart, in
our hands. It has been created in a free way without falling in what is expected by
this kind of music and for this very reason we chose a female voice. In this way we
could experiment without any limits, in a different way, maybe innovative. We were
looking for a kind music not so easily classifiable, a mix of each member’s musical
backgrounds to reach a shape that is unique, refined and with a particular attention
for the technicality”.
