OUROBOROS <\/b>is a musical project born in 2004 from an idea of Marco Grosso, that decides, after several years of\u00a0 esoteric and alchemic studies, to realize through the music, the path of the Great Opera of Alchemy, in his research for the Philosophical Stone.<\/p>\n

OUROBOROS tracks bring the listener in the ancients fogs of Medieval Times, with their sad and restless
mood, Latin litanies and old style artwork.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the release of the first cd-r, \u201cSolve et coagula\u201d, 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, \u201cNigredo\u201d.<\/p>\n

The \u201cNigredo\u201d 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 \u201cNigredo\u201d unrelased sessions, not included in the cd-r, and a remix of a \u201cNigredo\u201d track,
are recorded for a limited 33 copies EP called \u201cLunarya Fisica\u201d, a little gift for the devoted die-hard OUROBOROS fans, quicly sold out. In 2007, OUROBOROS debuts with \u201cLux Arcana\u201d 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, \u201cRussians\u201d, originally
included in \u201cThe dream of the blue turtles\u201d, revisited and arranged in the OUROBOROS way, as a tribute to one of Marco favourite artists.<\/p>\n

After the successful release of \u201cLux Arcana\u201d the notoriety of OUROBOROS raises strongly with many
interviews, excellent reviews on specialized press, and the inclusion of \u201cLux Arcana\u201d tracks on many radio broadcasts. In 2008, a new release called \u201cSigillum Solis\u201d comes out together with Marco Grosso book, \u201cIl solstizio d\u2019inverno\u201d, and contains some unpublished material from \u201cLux Arcana\u201d sessions.<\/p>\n

In the meantime the Belgian label \u201cBone Structure Media\u201d, releases an OUROBOROS unpublished track
called \u201cLumen et umbra\u201d in a limited edition of 3 cd box set, \u201cTrinity on tritherapy\u201d, sold out in few days.<\/p>\n

In the same year the Estonian label Hexenreich releases an OUROBOROS tape (split with Hiietont) with a
collection of tracks plus a \u201cSolve et Coagula\u201d exclusive remix, limited to 99 copies.<\/p>\n

On May 2008 comes out a 3″ single for the Dutch label \u201cSvaltgalgh Records\u201d, called \u201cLumen et
Umbra\u201d, that includes 3 tracks, rare and unreleased, in a limited edition, currently sold out. The same month a split 3″ single called \u201cMagick Ritual IV\u201d is released by Svaltgalgh Records, including an unpublished track of Ouroboros, called \u201cOurovorax\u201d. In August Bone Structure Media prints
out a compilation called \u201cFear is thy name\u201d, where OUROBOROS appears with an exclusive track called \u201cSepulchretum\u201d.<\/p>\n

On Autumn 2008, OUROBOROS releases a cd on the Chile based label Prime Unit Records, called \u201cVanitas\u201d, that contains covers, remixes and unreleased tracks from \u201cLux Arcana\u201d 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 \u201cPrimae Materiae\u201d.\u00a0
German label Quartier 23 in December 2010 publishes a digipack cd called \u201cOuroboros\u201d, that includes
the sold out singles \u201cLunarya Fisica\u201d, \u201cLumen et Umbra\u201d and \u201cArs Regia\u201d, 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 \u201cSomnium\u201d, gets a good resonance in the American area. Polish label Zoharum, with a big distribution all over the World, decides to publish the album \u201cOpus Tartari\u201d, recorded some years ago and never released. Another unreleased track is included in the double cd compilation called \u201cFrom Earth to Sirius\u201d. In the meantime the German label Quartier 23 releases a double cd compilation called \u201cSeptem\u201d, where OUROBOROS appears with the neoclassical track \u201cTristitia\u201d, involving the opera singer Agratha from Russia. In the year 2012 a new EP called JANUA INFERI see the light, and to accompany Marco in his work we find talented singers Verdiana Raw, Marionita Paige and Agratha. The same year for the first (and probably last) time Ouroboros performed live at the Villa Festival (italian important dark ambient and neofolk venue), togheter with Verdiana Raw (on vocals and piano), releasing a dvd plus a cd of the performance. Beginning of year 2013 see Ouroboros release a new three inches single called \u201cSancta Sanctorum\u201d, with the collaboration of operatic singer Desir\u00e9e of spanish act Persona.<\/p>\n
