Jekyll and Hyde is a new progressive rock opera consisting of two albums called the White Side and Dark Side. It is based on Robert Louis Stevenson's novel Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, with each song representing a chapter and different singers playing the main characters. The White Side represents reason over instinct while the Dark Side brings negativity and destruction, with a progression from lucidity to complexity between the two sides and blurring of lines between light and dark.

CONSISTING OF TWO ALBUMS: WHITE SIDE AND DARK SIDE.
These are two complex albums, the result of four years
of intense and meticulous work. The work follows to Stevenson's novel "The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde": each song is like a chapter of story, in which the main characters take the stage (Jekyll/Hyde, Utterson, Lanyon and Poole). Each of them will be played by a different singer.
The work progresses in parallel with the story:
the white side represents the supremacy of reason over the primordial instinct (supremacy embodied in the character of Henry Jekyll) while the dark side brings negativity and destruction.
This is a "progressive" path: lucidity and musical
simplicity slowly turn into an increasingly aggressive, all-encompassing and complex sound. However, the boundaries are not so defined. The evil shows through the good and vice versa, so there are moments of light in the dark side and dark moments in the white side.
