Artist: CIVILIZATION ONE
Album: "REVOLUTION RISING (CD)"

Year: 2007
Media type: CD

CIVILIZATION ONE is an international musical entity comprised of musicians from Sri Lanka, Italy, France, and Brazil. "Revolution Rising" is their debut release, an album which the band produced themselves and recorded at studios in France, Italy, and Germany, with mixing and mastering by Markus Teske (VANDEN PLAS, DOMINICI, SYMPHONY X) at Bazement Studios in Germany. "Revolution Rising" features 10 songs, including "Life Of Agony," "Legends Of The Past (Carry On), and "Time Will Tell."

CIVILIZATION ONE was started by vocalist Chitral "Chity" Somapala (highly regarded for his work with AVALON, FIREWIND, FARO and RED CIRCUIT) and guitarist Aldo Lanobile (SECRET SPHERE). Chity and Aldo wanted to create a band that combined heavy, aggressive guitar riffs with the melodic sensibilities of classical music, and featured memorable vocal lines and choruses, such as those created by the legendary, classic bands of heavy metal.

The first person they asked to join their musical quest was drummer Luca Cartasegna, who had recorded 3 albums with Aldo in SECRET SPHERE. The next player on board was bassist Pierre-Emmanuel Pйlisson, whom Chity was quite familiar with, as his former group, acclaimed French power metal act HEAVENLY, had toured with Chity's band at the time, AVALON. Chity knew that Pierre-Emmanuel would be the perfect player to hold own the bottom end with his aggressive bass playing style. The last piece of this musical puzzle was completed by keyboard player Jesper Stotz (who originally hails from Brazil). Chity had been in correspondence with Jesper over the years, and asked him to join the band as he knew that his virtuoso skills and compositional brilliance would enable them to explore all the different atmospheres that a band like CIVILIZATION ONE require.

With the band now in place that could achieve Chity and Aldo's musical vision, this musical unit set upon writing an album of timeless heavy metal with neoclassical, symphonic aggression. The band conducted extensive writing sessions in Germany and Italy, with Chity and Aldo creating the main framework, and the rest of the band contributing their unique talents to the compositions. After they had finished writing the album, the band knew that they had surpassed all of their original aspirations for CIVILIZATION ONE, evidence which will be heard by all on "Revolution Rising."

Civilization One played their first live show on March 30, 2007, headlining the ProgPower UK pre-party show, receiving excellent praise from bands, fans and press alike for their memorable songs and dynamic stage presence. Many more will soon experience the power of CIVILIZATION ONE, as the band will embark on an extensive tour in support of "Revolution Rising" upon its release.
