The YGGDRAZIL band forms in 1999. The line-up has remained the same till today :
Francesco Graziosi, vocals;
Antonio Pagnotta, guitars;
Gerardo Iorlano, bass;
Ivan Oliviero, drums.
Yggdrazil is a Celtic word. In Celtic mythology the Yggdrazil symbolizes the “Major tree†that interrelates sky, earth and underworld and with its branches embraces the entire Planet.
Yggdrazil haven’t definite inspirations. They gather from rock, progressive rock ’70, nu-metal and also from popular and ethnical sounds and melodies.
The group’s members have different musical paths, but they meet in a dimension as intricate and complex as natural and instinctive.Settimo grado di separazione:
it’s Yggdrazil’s first CD, entirely self-produced. The lyrics are in English except the last one, almost entirely in Italian language, whence the work takes his name.
Out of predefined schemes, Yggdrazil’s music is free.
