Essenza

Essenza is a heavy metal band formed in Italy in 1993,[2] led by the guitarist Carlo G. Rizzello and his brother Alessandro (bass player). At the beginning, Luca A. Rizzello played drums in the trio. Since 2003 Paolo Colazzo joins the band as drummer. The first two full lengths of the band were sung in Italian and were strongly influenced by traditional hard rock and rock-blues; later, the band adopted English lyrics and switched to a classic metal style that resembles Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden [3] [4] [5] mixed to the speed and the heaviness typical of the Megadeth sound.[6]

gollark: The closest thing to a science fair my school did is one night last year or something where everyone presented DT (design and technology) projects.
gollark: It's not a battle competition, so I don't know *why* you would do that.
gollark: The competition rules for the one we do *explicitly say* that your robot may not be on fire, oddly.
gollark: Some of the non-programming people are doing hardware design somewhat, which is useful.
gollark: Only the computer science cohort of not many people is doing it, but due to scheduling only about 3 of us actually have significant programming experience.
