Venturia is a French progressive metal band created in 2000 by Charly SAHONA and Diego RAPACCHIETTI.
The line-up is made of 6 musicians (including 2 singers): Charly Sahona (guitar, keys), Kevin Codfert (keys solos on “the new kingdom”), Thomas James (bass), Diego Rapacchietti ( drums ), Marc Ferreira (lead vocal), Lydie Robin (vocals).
They released their first album in 2006, it’s entitled “The New Kingdom”.
The pop/rock-like singing of Marc contrasts with the pure, clean and sensual female voice of Lydie Robin, creating a fantastic blend of aggressive and melodic vocal duet lines.

The debut album was highly acclaimed by medias. In 2007, VENTURIA was invited by Swiss Television TSR to record a one-hour live show. During all of that year, the band wrote new songs and worked on new sounds.
In late 2007, VENTURIA went to Switzerland and began the recording of their new opus, “Hybrid”, at Artsonik studios . The band had the opportunity to have a great production and took a long time to finalize the record. The album was recorded by Carryl Montini, and the mix was done by Kevin Codfert and Carryl Montini.
Metal + beautiful clean pop-melodies + technical progressive rock + classical + electronic music +high virtuosity = VENTURIA’s “Hybrid” music

France is definetely better than one can think, musicwise. They have Gojira and Ataraxie, and now also Venturia. I was surprised when I found Gojira all those years ago, and now they have two more good bands? :)

About as good as metal can get: great melodies served up with tremendous gritty power. And you thought France was all about bread, cheese and wine ...

The new album is quite a bit different from The New Kingdom. There are a lot more electronic elements, and it has a much more upbeat, jazzy feel. I didn't like it much on the first listen, but I like it at least as much as TNK now.

Really stunning progressive metal band. Female vocals too good to be true.

Can't stop listening to this band, even if they seem so mainstream but yet they leave the idea that made what many others wanted and never done...
