Los barceloneses Regna presentan su nuevo disco, ‘Cinema’


Keep the Dream Alive [SPA]

Regna es una banda de rock progresivo de Barcelona. Durante el cuarto trimestre de 2023 estrenará su primer LP larga duración: Cinema. Un disco honesto y conciso donde la banda intenta mostrar todas las facetas de su ADN, así como donde se recoge todo lo aprendido durante la puesta en escena de su anterior trabajo, el EP conceptual Meridian.

El disco ha sido escrito y concebido como un arco musical de dos hemisferios. Si bien no se trata de una pieza conceptual, se pueden encontrar trazas comunes entre los cortes que lo conforman tales como el miedo, la soledad o la necesidad de establecer un refugio emocional (y su posterior destrucción).

Album Review – Meridian EP by Regna


WORLD PROG-NATION [USA]

In recent years the progressive rock landscape has seen the birth and growth of different bands around the world who have managed to show why this genre still has many followers and continues to grow among some young audiences who want to satisfy their demanding musical tastes, and who probably did not live through the golden age of emblematic Progressive Rock bands such as Pink FloydGenesis and Yes. However, some bands have managed to rescue the best of that era and today give life to the genre in a genuine and sincere way.

Regna – Meridian [EP]


THE PROGRESSIVE ASPECT [UK]

Around this time last year, Spanish sextet Regna released their debut EP, Meridian, and since then it seems to have flown under the prog radar – a shame really, as it is enjoyable listen and would certainly delight those who enjoy a blend of traditional prog, which occasionally endorses ‘beefed up’ guitar sections and isn’t afraid to draw, here and there, from the Latin fusion quarter.

The band cite a varied cross section of influences and pointers, which include Beardfish, Bigelf, Camel, Deep Purple, early-Dream Theater, ELP, Genesis, Jethro Tull, Kansas, King Crimson, Magic Pie, PFM, etc… They also view their music in the heavy progressive rock, progressive metal vein. So are these useful guides? Well, with the exception of PFM, I’m not entirely sure they are. Granted there may be elements from the above throughout the EP, but they are scant and in many respects it does the band a disservice, as they do have their own voice. And either I’m drifting more towards the ‘dark side’ or this isn’t as heavy as the band may imply.

Crítica del disco de Regna – ‘Meridian’ (2015)


PORTAL ESQUIZOFRENIA [SPA]

No se puede, y no es una crítica, que conste, intentar hacer hard o metal progresivo si no es con un sonido sucio, un sonido saturado por el sonido de guitarras, casi distorsionados bajos y una batería enloquecida. Y digo esto porque quizá Regna no se ha dado cuenta de su auténtico potencial y me sabe mal que lo que parece la intención de esta joven y buenísima banda sea apuntarse al saco sin fondo, al cajón de sastre, del hardprogresivo actual, cuando su sonido, el de la banda, no corresponde con el de los metaleros y, además, va sobrado de calidad.
