Time Machine

I

t would be the launch of the Project: Time Scanning in 1994 that the world would be introduced to the line up of Lorenzo Dehò (bass/guitars (rhythm)/keyboards/vocals (backing)), Roberto Besana (drums), Ivan Oggioni (guitars (rhythm)), Roberto Gramegna (keyboards) and Dennis A. Ruggeri (vocals) in the progressive metal band Time Machine, while the follow-up Dungeons of the Vatican EP in 1994 saw an almost entirely new line-up of Fabio Brigliadoro (drums), Mirko Criscione (keyboards), Joe Taccone (guitars) and Jonathan Lavino (vocals) along side Ivan and Dehò.

Their debut full-length would be Act II: Galileo with Antonio Rotta (drums) and Folco Orlandini (vocals) in 1995.

After two splits, the EPs Shades of Time (1997) and Live Heresy (1998) with new members Nick Rossetti (drums) and Adolfo "Morby" Morviducci (vocals) followed.

Secret Oceans Part 1, Secret Oceans Part 2 and Eternity Ends followed in 1998 with Stefano Della Giustina (keyboards/saxophone (tenor)) and Nick Fortarezza (vocals).

There was a reformation of a sorts with another large line-up change for the release of Evil (2001), and the Aliger Daemon EP (2001) with Dehò and Taccone partnered with Gianluca Ferro (guitars), Claudio Riotti (drums) and Pino Tozzi (vocals).

Reviviscence: Liber Secundus (2004) featured Gianluca Galli (guitars/sitar/mandolin), Marco Sivo (vocals) and Luca Sigfrido Percich (drums/programming) this time along with Dehò and Ferro. The band split sometime soon after.
