Biography

OUROBOROS is a musical project born in 2004
from an idea of Marco Grosso, that decides, after several years of esoteric and
alchemic studies, to realize through the music, the path of the Great Opera of
Alchemy, in his research for the Philosophical Stone.
OUROBOROS tracks bring the listener in the
ancients fogs of Medieval Times, with their sad and restless mood, Latin litanies
and old style artwork.
After the release of the first cd-r, "Solve
et coagula", well received by magazines and listeners, in 2005 Marco asked
to Claudio Dondo, (playing a key role in the ambient genre for ten years with
his band Runes Order) to cooperate on the creation of some instrumental parts and
on the sound engineering on OUROBOROS second cd-r, "Nigredo".
The "Nigredo" cd confirms the debut
good reviews, and some magazines and zines asks to interview Marco. Meanwhile,
some tracks are played by independent radio stations in Europe, U.S.A and Australia.
Part of the "Nigredo" unrelased sessions, not included in the cd-r,
and a remix of a "Nigredo" track, are recorded for a limited 33
copies EP called "Lunarya Fisica", a little gift for the devoted
die-hard OUROBOROS fans, quicly sold out. In 2007, OUROBOROS debuts with
"Lux Arcana" for the japanese label Sabbathid Records. Many guests
join Marco Grosso in this work: Claudio Dondo (Runes Order), mAlice and Aleph
Zero (Deviated Sister T.V.), Daniele Davico (The Tenant) and Carla Fanetti, all
of them giving their specific contribution to raise the musical skills of the
cd. There is also a Sting cover, "Russians", originally included in
"The dream of the blue turtles", revisited and arranged in the OUROBOROS
way, as a tribute to one of Marco favourite artists.
After the successful release of "Lux
Arcana" the notoriety of OUROBOROS raises strongly with many interviews,
excellent reviews on specialized press, and the inclusion of "Lux Arcana"
tracks on many radio broadcasts. In 2008, a new release called "Sigillum Solis"
comes out together with Marco Grosso book, “Il solstizio d’inverno”, and
contains some unpublished material from "Lux Arcana" sessions.
In the meantime the Belgian label "Bone
Structure Media", releases an OUROBOROS unpublished track called "Lumen
et umbra" in a limited edition of 3 cd box set, "Trinity on
tritherapy", sold out in few days.
In the same year the Estonian label Hexenreich
releases an OUROBOROS tape (split with Hiietont) with a collection of tracks
plus a "Solve et Coagula" exclusive remix, limited to 99 copies.
On May 2008 comes out a 3" single for the Dutch
label "Svaltgalgh Records", called “Lumen et Umbra”, that includes 3
tracks, rare and unreleased, in a limited edition, currently sold out. The same
month a split 3" single called "Magick Ritual IV" is released by
Svaltgalgh Records, including an unpublished track of Ouroboros, called "Ourovorax".
In August Bone Structure Media prints out a compilation called "Fear is
thy name", where OUROBOROS appears with an exclusive track called
“Sepulchretum”.
On Autumn 2008, OUROBOROS releases a cd on the Chile based
label Prime Unit Records, called "Vanitas", that contains covers,
remixes and unreleased tracks from "Lux Arcana" sessions, with guest
musicians as Nona Luna (soprano vocalist of Andromaca) and soprano Ilaria
Taroni. In 2010 a
collection of rare songs and b sides is published on cd-r by Invisible Eye
Productions under the name "Primae Materiae". German label Quartier 23 in December 2010 publishes
a digipack cd called "Ouroboros", that includes the sold out singles "Lunarya
Fisica", "Lumen et Umbra" and "Ars Regia", plus two
new unreleased tracks. In 2011 the US label called Ninth Meridian asks
to Marco to release a new album on cd, and this work, called "Somnium",
gets a good resonance in the American area. Polish label Zoharum, with a big
distribution all over the World, decides to publish the album "Opus
Tartari", recorded some years ago and never released. Another unreleased
track is included in the double cd compilation called "From Earth to
Sirius". In the meantime the German label Quartier 23 releases a double cd
compilation called "Septem", where OUROBOROS appears with the neoclassical
track "Tristitia", involving the opera singer Agratha from Russia.
