GROUP BIOGRAPHY

The final line-up of the EGOMASS’ was completely reached in 2004 when Luca Pintore (voice) joined to the band. Antonio Mulas (bass guitar) had joined to the band since 2003, whereas Paolo Lubinu (lead guitar) and Flavio Fancellu (drum) had labored alone on their project in early 2001/2002. The musicians like to define their band trash progressive band, although they are conscious that this is not an exhaustive definition at all. Indeed, many people considers EGOMASS pieces having a core trend and this is particularly evident during the live performances of the group when it is clear that EGOMASS’ perform something like experimental activities. In 2005 EGOMASS’ start their live activity in Sardinia where live venues were met enthusiastically by people. In 2006 the live activity for the group becomes more intense and the first demonstration recording was also realized. In the summer of 2006, EGOMASS’ participated to their first music competition “artes e sonos” in Ruinas (in Sardinia) which is theoretically open to all the musical genres and, therefore, “metal” had not historically occupied a prevalent and outwardly accepted place. However, EGOMASS’ snatched the third position although the award can be retained by the band as quite symbolic! Contacts and collaborations with other groups multiplied and the EGOMASS’ became to be conscious to have an audience of them! In November 2006 they finished their first demonstration recording containing two tracks only, “Dubbio” and “Posso ancora credere” for a total time of 11 minutes: the 200 copies produced for the circulation were distributed in very few months. The quality of the recording is that of a “demonstration recording” at all, but the actual music content was widely appreciated. Indeed, the web and fanzine reviews on such tracks were always quite positive and sometimes enthusiastic. In 2007 EGOMASS’ participated to Arezzo Wave (Italian Wave) competition classifying themselves in the regional final competition and they also participated to the Total Sound Contest (a quite metal contest at least!) where they reached the first award with the maximum score. Moreover, in the summer of 2007 the EGOMASS’ are also awarded at the Ovodstock Festival. In the meanwhile, the relationship with the LACERTER group, a brutal band from Bologna, becomes more and more deep and on December 2007 EGOMASS’ had their first tour out of the Sardinia. They had three venues for their tour performances: Imola, Firence and Bologna. The audience feed-back was quite encouraging (see, for example, the live report on the magazine “GRAN DUCATO DI METALLO”): after this very nice experience the gush and the group union resulted to be quite enforced. Therefore, in 2008 EGOMASS’ decided to have a more professional studio-recording experience. As a consequence, the live activity was necessarily a bit minimized (although not fully cancelled!) to dedicate themselves to recording and mixing activities. These have been really itinerant activities and they required many months of job for the group! However, it is EGOMASS’ opinion that it has been worth one’s while!
