Shoggoth

Shoggoth is an Italian progressive metal band formed in 1988 in Rome, Latium. The band recorded its self-titled debut album in 1990. Three more would follow up to 1998 before the split. With the previous three albums, Shoggoth built a very good audience in Italy. With "Combination", they broaden their musical language by introducing new sounds into their typical musical structures that recall the "Hemisphere"-period Rush. On "Combination" the sound is heavier than before but with a jazz-rock touch. The album includes a 30-minute suite of tracks featuring incredible duels between guitars and keyboards where Shoggoth show their great instrumental prowess. It also contains a revisited cover of the Rush classic "2112".
