The Finnish Progressive Music Association COLOSSUS together with Musea released a concept album (4 CDs) based on the first cantica of the Italian Epic Poem “The Divine Comedy”. The 34 “cantos” of the INFERNO will be assigned to 34 bands. Each band participating in the project has chosen one “canto” and will make their music inspired by it. The maximum length of the songs can be 7 min and the songs can be either instrumental or with vocals. All keyboards used on the songs will be original 70's instruments (Hammond, Mellotron, Minimoog, Clavinet, Fender Rhoades etc.) or be emulated with the best technology of today (no drum machines or programming is allowed!) and an early 70’s atmosphere is preferred (Genesis, Yes, EL&P;, VDGG, etc.).

The bands participating in the project come from all around the world (for example, Europe, South America, U.S.A., Canada and Japan.).
