Conjura de forma asombrosa el per\u00edodo glorioso del prog-rock \/ folk-rock de mediados de los 70, cuando grupos como Renaissance, Soft Machine, ELP, Gentle Giant o Genesis dominaban la escena.<\/p>\n<p>Pero viajemos en el tiempo con la familia Salvatori. En 1976, cuando todav\u00eda iba al instituto, Tom Salvatori se junto con su hermano mayor Michael, la esposa de este, Gail Salvatori y un amigo de clase, Scott Magnesen. Bajo el nombre de Apocalypse grabaron un disco de puro rock progresivo llamado \u201cThe Castle\u201d. A lo largo de 38 minutos y cinco canciones, esta grabaci\u00f3n demostraba el alto nivel musical e instrumental del grupo dentro del \u00e1mbito progresivo. Pero tras no despertar el inter\u00e9s de ning\u00fan sello, \u201cThe Castle\u201d permaneci\u00f3 in\u00e9dito hasta que en 2021, gracias al inter\u00e9s de Steve Krakow aka Plastic Crimewave, la cinta m\u00e1ster original que se cre\u00eda perdida fue descubierta en el s\u00f3tano de Michael Salvatori.
