Flashback Of Anger

**Flashback Of Anger** is an Italian progressive/power metal band that stormed out of Milan in the early 2000s with a blend of technical riffage, soaring vocals, and sci-fi-tinged lyricism. Known for their high-energy live shows and intricate compositions, the band—fronted by vocalist Davide Sportiello and anchored by guitarists Roberto Cappelli and Gabriele Robotti—has carved a niche in the European metal scene. Their sound marries classic power metal melodies with modern prog-metal complexity, earning them a loyal following among fans of acts like Dream Theater and Symphony X.

Since their 2005 debut *Breaking the Chains of Violence*, Flashback Of Anger has consistently delivered concept-driven albums, including 2020’s *Terminate and Stay Resident* (which features tracks like “Prisoner of War” and “Enemy’s Eyes”). Their recent releases, including the punchy “Half Mast” and atmospheric “Shades,” showcase their knack for balancing aggression with melody. While they’ve stayed under the mainstream radar, their dedication to craft and theatrical live energy keeps them a cult favorite in the prog-power universe.
