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 [1] and work on a second album started, but due to “a string of personal events” the band split up in 1973. [2].
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. A new studio album will be released in 2012.
