Demo Tape

La band nata nel 1992 sotto il nome di Farenheit, con una formazione classica composta da Massimo Burzi alla voce, Alberto Sandri al basso, Daniele Cipollini alla chitarra, Andrea Soverini alle tastiere e Claudio Mattei alla Batteria. Nel 1993 cambiano nome in Lie Tears e nel 1994 acquisiscono il sesto elemento il chitarrista Matteo Ceramigli. Grazie all’influenza e tecnica personale di ogni membro, la band crea melodie romantiche con potenti scariche rock, formando pezzi unici in classico stile Progressive Rock. La band pubblica due demo tape negli anni 1995 con Ipnotic Mind e nel 1997 Lord Sand Sad, tutti recensiti da testate giornalistiche del settore e da Fanzine. Italian Tapes: “…. favoloso demo dei bolognesi Lie tears. Brani eseguiti in maniera impeccabile come la sinfonica “Ipnotic Mind” o “Tears in the Rain “, ricca di cambi di tempo e dotata di un arpeggio iniziale che ti cattura e non ti lascia più” Thunder Demo: “… troviamo una band he suona in maniera brillante leggermente penalizzata dal suono mai perfetto dei demotape, ma che, nei cinque brani, dimostra di avere tecnica e feeling, capacità di creare la giusta atmosfera, variandola all’interno della singola composizione, come da classico stile Prog. Arlequins: “… il segreto del successo dei Lie Tears è proprio quest’alternanza tra momenti intimistici e romantici con delle brusche accelerazioni in cui la ritmica si fa veramente heavy. Flash:”-...Considerata la qualità dell’Artwork e della registrazione si fa quasi a fatica recensire “Lord Sand Sad” come un semplice demo. Hard: “Lord Sand Sad presenta sei pezzi ben curati e nella composizione e nella registrazione; particolare plauso Hours Fly Away che, se in un primo momento può creare fastidio con i suoi cambi di tempo, a lungo andare cattura con le sue atmosfere e le melodie azzeccate. Metal Shock: Top demo mese di Novembre “..fidatevi, vi basterà poco per essere soggiogati dal magico potere del “triste signore della sabbia”. Nel 1999 la band rimane con un solo chitarrista e registra il primo Cd “A Gate for Another Life…” pubblicato dall’etichetta Underground Sinphony. Rateyourmusic: “The album entitled A gate to another life is a good album where neo prog moments are melted very strong with some more rougher moements almost prog metal, but without sounding like a prog metal band, only in attitude here and there. Also the compositions are more elastic in musical termes then on usual neo prog band, great use of keybords and good vocal parts. I like this band and both albums worth investigated. Nel 2009 la band pubblica il suo secondo Cd “Really or False…” pubblicato dalla VideoRadio. Rateyourmusic: “All pieces are good not a weak moment , specialy the instrumental Memories, excellent musicianship and great keybords arrangements, another highlight is No really or Black sun. A quite enjoyble ride was this balbum aswell like their first release. “. Negli anni successivi, dopo l’uscita dalla band del cantante e del chitarrista, i Lie Tears iniziano la ricerca di una voce e un sei corde per poter far uscire nuovi brani. Con l’arrivo del cantante Alessandro Bicicchi e del chitarrista Riccardo Ibba, la band riesce a tornare nello studio di registrazione per dar vita ad altri brani Progressive Rock. Di fatti nel 2025 è prevista l’uscita del terzo Cd “Prophetic Promises” anticipata dall’uscita del singolo nel video “Between Dark and Light”.

The band was born in 1992 under the name of Farenheit, with a classic lineup composed of Massimo Burzi on vocals, Alberto Sandri on bass, Daniele Cipollini on guitar, Andrea Soverini on keyboards and Claudio Mattei on drums. In 1993 they changed their name to Lie Tears and in 1994 they acquired the sixth element, guitarist Matteo Ceramigli. Thanks to the influence and personal technique of each member, the band creates romantic melodies with powerful rock discharges, forming unique pieces in classic Progressive Rock style. The band released two demo tapes in 1995 with Ipnotic Mind and in 1997 Lord Sand Sad, all reviewed by industry newspapers and Fanzines. Italian Tapes: “… fabulous demo by the Bologna-based band Lie tears. Tracks performed impeccably like the symphonic “Ipnotic Mind” or “Tears in the Rain”, full of tempo changes and featuring an initial arpeggio that captures you and never lets go” Thunder Demo: “… we find a band that plays brilliantly, slightly penalized by the never perfect sound of the demotapes, but that, in the five tracks, shows that they have technique and feeling, the ability to create the right atmosphere, varying it within the single composition, as per classic Prog style.

Arlequins: “… the secret of Lie Tears’ success is precisely this alternation between intimate and romantic moments with sudden accelerations where the rhythm becomes really heavy. Flash:”-...Considering the quality of the artwork and the recording it is almost hard to review “Lord Sand Sad” as a simple demo. Hard: “Lord Sand Sad presents six well-crafted pieces in both composition and recording; special praise goes to Hours Fly Away which, if at first it can be annoying with its tempo changes, in the long run captures with its atmospheres and well-chosen melodies. Metal Shock: Top demo of November “..trust me, it won’t take much to be subjugated by the magical power of the “sad lord of the sand”. In 1999 the band remained with only one guitarist and recorded their first CD “A Gate for Another Life…” published by the Underground Sinphony label.

Rateyourmusic: “The album entitled A gate to another life is a good album where neo prog moments are melted very strong with some more rougher moments almost prog metal, but without sounding like a prog metal band, only in attitude here and there.

In the following years, after the singer and guitarist left the band, Lie Tears began the search for a voice and a six-string to release new songs. With the arrival of singer Alessandro Bicicchi and guitarist Riccardo Ibba, the band managed to return to the recording studio to create other Progressive Rock songs. In fact, the third CD “Prophetic Promises” is scheduled for release in 2025, anticipated by the release of the single in the video “Between Dark and Light”.
