This is the first of the two project by the Finnish association named Colossus in which we were involved. It consists of a triple CD featuring more than 30 bands drom all around the world. Its purpose is to set to music some pieces of the well known Finnish epic poem Kalevala, to build up a great rock opera. Here we took the chance to try an experiment: the band joined a string quintet and the sax of the brilliant Alessandro Tomei, and we tried to create a piece at the same time epic, meditative and wide. The experiment worked well, at least at our best, and it gave life to The Wedding, which is the longest piece of the entire collection.
