Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, the groundbreaking Italian progressive rock band, has announced the release of ‘Transiberiana’, its first studio album in 25 years, scheduled to be released on May 10th, 2019 on Inside Out.
“I’m happy after working such a long time on this new Banco del Mutuo Soccorso album for Inside Out,” said Banco founding member Vittorio Nocenzi. “It fills me with joy and satisfaction as I was truly inspired from the very beginning! For too many years, the band was only dedicated to live performances, so it was about time we would go back to composing, playing and producing new stuff!
By choosing the ‘Transiberiana’ concept for this new piece of work, there are two main issues I’d like to point out: first the new Banco line up consisting of great musicians and great people, secondly, the presence of my two sons in the project: Michelangelo co-writing the album and Mario Valerio, who took care of a marketing and communication strategy related to it. These two elements have been the best gifts I could possibly imagine to receive! And this is an extra motivation if ever needed to do my best for reaching our goals.
I can only wish fans will enjoy this incredible project and look forward to see them live when we will go out to perform the album and classic Banco-tracks around the globe with Filippo Marcheggiani (lead guitar), Nicola Di Già (rhythm guitar), Fabio Moresco (drums), Marco Capozi (bass), our singer Tony D’Alessio and myself!”
The last Banco del Mutuo Soccorso album, ‘13’, was released back in 1994. Longtime vocalist Francesco di Giacomo died in a car accident in Zagarolo (Italy) in 2014.
The current lineup of Banco del Mutuo Soccorso is: Vittorio Nocenzi on piano, keyboards and voice; Filippo Marcheggiani on guitar; Nicola Di Già on rhythm guitar; Marco Capozi on bass; Fabio Moresco on drums; and Tony D’Alessio on lead vocals.
