Anabasi Road is a rock band formed in 2009 in Reggio Emilia, Italy. The group emerged from the local rehearsal‑room scene, developing a sound that blends the warmth of analogue rock with more modern, aggressive tonal elements. This combination became a defining characteristic of their musical identity. From their earliest years, the band maintained a strong presence on local stages, known for energetic and spontaneous live performances. Throughout the 2010s, Anabasi Road participated in several regional music competitions, earning notable placements. They achieved second place at the Liber@mente Contest in Quattro Castella (Reggio Emilia) in 2012, and again secured second place at the Krisis Band Contest in Carpi in 2015. The band released its self‑titled debut album on 12 June 2014. The record was produced, mixed, and mastered by Luca Giorgio Pretorius (also known for his work with What a Funk!?). Without label support, the album was distributed independently through online platforms and direct sales. Despite this, it received a strong response from both audiences and critics, surpassing 1,000 copies sold. On 5 May 2016, Anabasi Road issued their second album, Ages. The release was accompanied by a music video for the opening track, “What Does It Mean?”, which reinforced the positive reception established by their debut.
