Klimt 1918

Klimt 1918 is an Italian Alternative Rock/Prog-Rock band. Their name comes from the austrian secessionist painter Gustav Klimt, who lived through the years 1862-1918.
The band formed in 1999 and includes:
Marco Soellner on the vocals and guitars
Paolo Soellner on the drums
Davide Pesola on the bass guitar
Francesco Conte on the guitar.
The band recorded its first self-produced promo in May 2000 called "Secession makes post-modern music" at The Outer Sound Studios by Novembre’s drummer Giuseppe Orlando. The good feedback allowed them to sign with a music label, a young italian label called "My Kingdom Music". During the recordings of the first LP they had to recruit a new guitarist, Alessandro Pace filling the place left by Francesco Tumbarello. In 2003 the band finally released the album "Undressed Momento", a record with a more hybrid sound based on emotional atmospheres, wave/rock/metal guitars and a powerful rhythm session. In 2004 the band signed with a new record label, the german "Prophecy Productions". Dopoguerra was born and is considered the "symbolic debut album" for Klimt 1918. As of August 2007, the band has been in the studio recording a new album.
