In April 1995 the band recorded its second demo-tape, whose tracks are enriched by the keyboards sounds by P.J. Abba.
From mid 1996 Projecto started developing its current sound, and with the new singer (Robert) and new drummer (Luca) it had the opportunity to realize its ideas at a competitive level.
In January '97 it recorded its last demo-tape to be represented at important meetings of record companies such as MIDEM and POP-KOMM. Thanks to very good reviews published on specialized heavy metal magazines, in November '97 Projecto signed a contract with the indipendent label Underground Symphony. The debut CD Projecto, produced by Frank Andiver of Labyrinth (now Shadows of Steel and Wonderland), has fully confirmed and made the most of the composition style of the band: power-speed metal with progressive influences.
The reviews about the debut album have been very good: the Italian metal magazines gave marks such as 4/5 METAL SHOCK, 5/6 METAL HAMMER, 97/100 FLASH. In foreign magazines like Burrn! the grade was 75/100 and the comments on Rock Hard were enthusiastic. The band received a very good support from Fanzines, Internet Web Pages, Distributors Catalogues such as Hellion (Germany) and Arise (Spain).
Since August 1998 Vic and P.J. started writing new material for the second album and the whole band worked to develope a concept for the lyrics.
The second album was recorded at Zenith Recordings and mixed at Octagonal Paris Studio. The result is a more power-oriented music, completed by the massive presence of classical phrases (by guitars and keyboards) mixed with high melodic vocal lines. The mastering sessions will take place at Finnvox Studios (Finland) and the front cover will be by Louis Royo. Out in September 2001, Crown of Ages will confirm Projecto's personal way to write power-speed-metal music.
Alchemy
Projecto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It seemed an illusion a growin' confusion
I felt my heart breakin' in me
I couldn't believe it she was all I needed
Stop the time I feel fine
Right or wrong
I've found my love
Clouds are gone as she's in my dreams
Now we're together maybe forever
But if our time has to end
I'll never surrender I'll always remember
Stop the time I feel fine
Right or wrong
I've found my love
It's a mysterious alchemy what I feel
Just a mysterious alchemy
The lyrics in Projecto's song Alchemy describe the moment when the singer meets the person he immediately knows is the one for him. Despite the cold surroundings, he encounters their eyes and, as if by magic, all his confusion disappears. His heart breaks with the realization that this person is all he ever needed. The singer's happiness has an otherworldly quality to it - he wants time to stop so he can stay in that moment forever. He feels like he has finally found his soulmate, and whether it's right or wrong, he knows that they're meant to be together. The lyrics suggest that the feeling of love is an unexplainable and deeply mysterious matter, almost akin to a mysterious alchemy.
Overall, this song explores the intensity and depth of emotions that can arise in a romantic relationship. When love arrives, it can change one's perspective of the world and even time itself. Beyond the simple meaning of romantic attraction, the lyrics in "Alchemy" show that love can inspire a type of magic and fascination that is difficult to articulate or define.

I met those eyes in a cold day
I saw her for the first time on a chilly day
It seemed an illusion a growin' confusion
It felt like a dream, but I couldn't understand my feelings
I felt my heart breakin' in me
My heart was aching with emotions
I couldn't believe it she was all I needed
I was surprised that she was the missing piece in my life
Clouds are gone as she's in my dreams
I feel happy knowing that she's a part of my aspirations
Now we're together maybe forever
Hopefully, we can be lovers always
But if our time has to end
In case our relationship is meant to finish
I'll never surrender I'll always remember
I will never forget our love and will fight for it
It's a mysterious alchemy what I feel
My emotions are a magical and unexplainable bond
Just a mysterious alchemy
It's purely a chemical and indescribable attraction
