Northern Italy-situated city of Brescia was the place where Tragodia was born, (In 1996) and where their music started to shape. After releasing in 1998 a critical-acclaimed demo-tape, “Dramas in splendent realms”, a self-produced mini-CD in 2001 “All our miseries” and several line-up changes, Tragodia finally had their first album “The Promethean Leagcy” released in 2007 by Dutch label Dark Balance Records.
After gigging here and there across Europe the band released it’s sophomore album “Theomachy” in 2012 trough “My Graveyard Production”. In 2013 Tragodia signed a deal with Kolony Records for the release of it’s latest and 3rd album “Mythmaker”.
And that latest release gives me a 50/50 feeling. I don’t hate the album, it does keeps me listening to it. But I also don’t love it. I like how it has a lot of elements going on: melodic, fast riffs, the singing,….but I reckon it just doesn’t have enough power to push itself further away from just nice background music.
