While drinking a glass of beer, Francesco and Guerrino had the idea to found a metal band to play with good musicians and heavy metal lovers…they made it! Mizar formed in 1999 with Guerrino Mattioni (soloist classic guitar), Francesco Ceccamea (rhythmic guitar), Andrea Lippi (vocal), Miguel Calì (drums) and Emiliano Natali (bass). After the fist period in which we played Gamma Ray, Stratovarius, Helloween and Iron Maiden's songs, Guerrino and Francesco started to write some songs, oriented to classic heavy-power metal. Thanks to the firsts live exhibition in their country, Mizar's popularity grew. In 2001 we published "Accession", first Mizar's demo tape, in which we can find the best four songs they compose in those years: "Hope", "Dark sign", "Storm of changes" and "And the fate will be done". Keyboards where played by Marco Berni, who became member of the band. Some day before the recording day, Emiliano left the band, but luckily, Francesco, in very few days, had been able to realize and play all bass parts. The four tracks received good reviews in magazines and a nice success among people. In following months, we tried to contact some new bass player, but we did not find him, so we stopped playing for a long period. Nevertheless, we kept strong: after manifold quests, on June 2002, Graziano Mazzapicchio became the new bass player of the band. After that, we were able to continue our work. But out of envy, someone begin to bring disgrace on us among people and trough some reviews and interviews on Net. We pretended not to notice and we carried on. New songs were played in some gigs across Italy and so much people could know Mizar. Not very after the drummer, Miguel, left the band, being soon replaced by Federico Massimi, a very young but very talented pounding skinsmasher. Therefore, we worked on old songs and many new songs had been composed: the band was going to record the new demo with a very good line up. We rolled up our sleeves and with the help of some friends of our, we built up a web site and promoted our music trough the WEB selling very much demos in Europe and South America. We sent it also to magazines and web-zines; we organized shows across Italy so we could make a name for ourselves: many people appreciate our music and many e-mailed us to have a copy of our demo. We tried to send it to some Italian metal labels but the Italian metal scene is too crowded and no label feels inclined to invest in little bands with not much money. Federico left the band quickly replaced by a new skins-masher Daniele “Totino” Michelacci; meanwhile Guerrino and Francesco wrote new songs and caught a deal with Dead Sun Records. On summer 2005 Mizar recorded their first album, “The Dark Sign”, including “Hope” and “Dark Sign” giving end to the story that began in their first demo Accession. Graziano had to leave the band for a while because of his studies at University, and Gianluca Carai, bass player of Hellwitch, propose himself to help Mizar in carrying on their path. The album is now out on stores. Nothing can stop them! You can buy our album "The Dark Sign" just clicking here! ..
