Their 2003 debut album, "Prophecy of a Dream," arrived amidst a fervent era for this genre, with Italy itself contributing compelling works.

As time flowed, so did IVORY's sonic evolution. They gracefully navigated toward the rugged shores of hard rock without forsaking their progressive metal roots—life's dynamic way of change, yet preserving one's essence.

Its ethereal atmospherics transport listeners to otherworldly and earthly realms. "Alien Nation" offers a respite from life's chaos, recharging spirits in an often impersonal world, and reaffirms the potency of art in evoking human emotions.

In summary, this meticulously crafted masterpiece reflects the zenith of a band's compositional maturity and their clear vision. Secure your ticket to the captivating odyssey that is "Alien Nation" by IVORY.
