A Piedi Nudi may be the hardest-edged band in Italy. Inspired by British progressive rock band King Crimson, the Italian sextet weaves a powerful mix of complex melodies, headbanging rhythms, and heavy electric guitar chords. Although drummer and flute player Carlo Bighetti sang lead on the band's debut album Creazione in 1995, a full-time singer, Mirko Andreasi, was recruited by the time they recorded a follow-up, Eclissi, three years later. ~ Craig Harris, Rovi
