Interview with Valerio Rizzotti of Atto IV

This week on the International Prog Rock Show I had the pleasure of interviewing the guitarist, singer, and main composer of the intalian prog band Atto IV (quarto, which means Fourth). The band was formed in 2002-2003 and has produced two CDs. Their latest is the fantastic Shattered Lines, released on Galileo Records.

New music heard during the show: swedish band Introitus from their latest release "Elements"; italian classic proggers Le Orme with "La Via della Seta", released last month; and ex-Big Big Train vocalist Sean Filkins, from his first solo album "War & Peace and Other Stories".
