CURRENT LINE-UP: Alessandro Bracaloni (drums) Lisa Oliviero (bass) Francesco Caprina (guitar) Andrea Baroni (keys) ---------------------------------------------------- COMPLETE BIO: ICYCORE´s history began in 1998 at the technical University of Pisa, where guitar player Tiziano Romano and drummer Alessandro Bracaloni found out that they both were fans of bands like Megadeth, Dream Theater, Queensryche and Eldritch. Together with Lisa Oliviero, at the bass, they founded the core of the band. "At the beginning, both Tiziano and I were big fans of Thrash, so we oriented ourselves towards bands like Megadeth", Alessandro explains. "My love for progressive music was raised by Lisa, who even then was a very talented musician and had a particular liking of Prog Metal and melodic Metal a la Angra." Shortly after the band had been established, the guys began searching for a singer. During the auditions, they did not only find the brilliant voice of Valerio Voliani, but a great second guitar player, too: Davide Alberti. An old schoolmate of Lisa´s who had helped out at the keyboard (Andrea Petracco) was replaced by Andrea Baroni and
