After the recent deal with CME pro, thanks to Ekomusicgroup (exclusive Italian distributor) and thanks to Sergio Fanton (Artist Manager), Martina is now endorsed by Korg.
SCHYSMA is the creation of keyboardist Martina Bellini. With the bassist Giorgio Di Paola, are 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. Valdimiro 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 lineup.
On September 29th 2012 "Imperfect Dichotomy", the first EP, was released.
In October 2012 Schysma signed for French label Optiasso for promotion and release all over Europe and tour.
In April 2013 "Lost in the Maze" video clip has been released!
