Syndone

Syndone is an Italian progressive rock band that’s been crafting rich, theatrical music since 1992, blending retro prog vibes with modern flair. Founded by keyboardist Nik Comoglio, the group mixes lush symphonic elements, jazzy rhythms, and Italian folk touches into a sound that feels both nostalgic and daring. Their name nods to the ancient “syndon” cloth used in religious rituals—a fitting metaphor for music that often feels ceremonial and deeply emotional. Over three decades, they’ve become cult favorites for fans of complex, story-driven rock, earning respect for their ambitious concepts and virtuosic musicianship.

Their recent releases—like *Kama Sutra* (2020) and *Mysoginia* (2022)—showcase their knack for tackling weighty themes (desire, mortality, mythology) with dramatic flair. Celebrating their 30th anniversary in 2022 with *Dirty Thirty*, Syndone proved they’re still pushing boundaries, weaving intricate arrangements and thought-provoking lyrics into albums like *Eros & Thanatos* and *Odysseas*. Whether channeling vintage analog synths or operatic vocals, they keep the spirit of classic Italian prog alive while staying fiercely original.
