Black Jester
Italy has had a monopoly on
neoclassical/progressive metal bands over the years,
and Black Jester was one such
band, with a style heavily influenced by
Dream Theater and
Fates Warning, with some
Yngwie Malmsteen-style theatrics thrown into the mix.
Clinically a fine band, though at times the keyboards gave the band
too much of a poppy feel.
They released three albums in the nineties and then broke up in 1999,
with a couple of members moving on to a followup band called Moonlight
Circus (taken from this band's second album).
The last album lineup regrouped in 2012.
