Machiavel is a belgian rock group formed in 1976 by Roland De Greef (bass) and Marc Isaye (drums and vocals) then playing with a group called Moby Dick and Jack Roskam (guitar) and Albert Letecheur (keyboard). They released their first eponym album in 1976 and gained some attention with the song Cheerlessness displaying Marc's high pitch voice and Albert's heady keyboard line.
Jack Roskam was soon replaced by Jean-Paul Devaux and Mario Guccio joined the group as lead vocalist and showman. This new team released The Jester in 1977, a wonderful album totally in line with the so-called Eurock production of the time (Genesis, Supertramp). The Jester featured very attractive tunes like Moments with very complex and ambitious creations like "Rock, Sea and Tree". The album also had an extremely sexy and beautiful cover.
The release of Mechanical Moonbeams in 1978 confirmed the group's musaical maturity and made them absolute rock-star in their homeland. The album featured very melodic songs like Rope Dancer or Mary, much harder tunes like Beyond The Silence, complex, typical Eurock songs like The Fifth Season but also some very complex songs like After The Crop which evolves from acoustic-melodic to punk-like via Eurock and pure-rock, all in the same song. The cover was in the same line as The Jester but this time in colour.
Urban Games was probably the band's most successful album, though not the best. It attempted to move away from the Eurock style and proposed songs leaning on disco (Dancing Heroes), hard-rock (The Dictators), reggae (over the hills), Eurock still (City Flowers). The rift between the tastes and ideas of the different members of the group was all too apparent in the group and Albert Letecheur and Jean-Paul Devaux left the group, in full glory, in 1979.
The well titled album New Lines, with Thierry Plas on lead guitar, was released in 1980. The single "Fly" was an immediate success but the group's next attempt with the album Break Out produced by Derek Laurence in 1981 did not meet success and the group went undercover for a number of years if one except the album The Cry of Pleasure in 1987.
The rebirth happened in 1999 with "Virtual Sun" followed by "Welcome to Paradise" in 2003 and the soon-to-be-released "2005". The band is touring very regularly again and is definitely the best known and most beloved belgian rock group.
