Omschrijving

Alphataurus is an Italian progressive rock band from the Milan area. Under the original lineup 
Alphataurus released only one album, Alphataurus, dated 1973, at the peak of the European 
progressive rock wave. The album was generally well received and work on a second album started, 
but due to “a string of personal events” the band split up in 1973. Some tracks from a second album 
were finally released in 1992 on the record Dietro l'uragano. The first album had a second life with 
good sales later, and it is still selling today.In the year 2009 Guido Wassermann and Pietro Pellegrini, 
two members of the original line up, decided it was the time to return to the scene, and reformed the 
band to record a new album, including both revised tunes from the second incomplete album as well 
as brand new tunes. The original drummer Giorgio Santandrea also rejoined the band, and in November 
2010 they officially had the reunion after over 30 years, playing at the Progvention 2010 in Milan. 
A live album from the reunion concert titles “Live In Bloom” was released in March 2012, but before 
the end of 2011 Giorgio Santandrea left the band, being replaced on drums by Alessandro “Pacho” Rossi. 
Their second studio album "AttosecondO" has been released in September 2012. In 2013 Fabio 
Rigamonti, bass player on both "Live In Bloom" and "AttosecondO", left the band and his role is taken 
by Marco Albanese; at the end of 2013 Pacho leaves the band as well, being replaced by Diego Mariani.
