Schysma, the progressive metal band from Milan (Italy), presents its first official videoclip, “Lost in the Maze” (Video Edit), based on the first EP “Imperfect Dichotomy”, which was released on 29th September 2012.
You can watch the video below.
Schysma is the creation of keyboardist Martina Bellini and bassist Giorgio Di Paola, both originally members of a band called Purpleknights. In September of 2009, after years of live performance in rock and metal clubs across Northern Italy, the two began working together to compose original songs.
Initially, the new material was intended for the band, but it soon became apparent that the music they were creating was a radical shift from their band's current style, incorporating more complex rhythms and an increasingly more progressive sound. Unfortunately, their collaboration began to create friction within the band and within a year Purpleknights had dissolved completely.
Both Martina and Giorgio, however, were inspired by their new musical results and were motivated to continue. Together, the two set out to form a new band and began their search for musicians who would share their enthusiasm. By mid-2011, after countless auditions, two exceptional musicians were discovered, both of whom would add significant value to their project.
Drummer Lucas Solina, not only provides powerful, precision grooves that strengthen each song, but also brings his skills as a composer to the group. Vladimiro Sala is an accomplished guitarist who demonstrates a remarkable command of his instrument with innovative technique. Last, but not least, vocalist Riccardo Minicucci joined the group in 2012 and brings his aggressive and melodic vocal styles to complete the band's formidable line-up.

Martina Bellini - Keyboard and Programming
Giorgio Di Paola - Bass Guitar
