New Credo, born in 1986, through many musical experiences developed in the first years of their life, have defined their own musical style about 1989, by changelling the traditonal criterions of local group's gigs offering, during the 89 mini-tour, a 50 minutes-lenght suite, without any pause. 

The musical genre, called experimental progressive rock, identifies itself with good prog', both with the most simphonic and pompous one, who saw its light in Europe during the Seventies and Eighties, and with the new-prog' of Nineties, recalling the musical ideas of bands like Genesis, Iq, Pendragon, Marillion, Camel and so on, but in a very personal way. 

The experimental side takes place into armonies, that differ from the traditional ones, and into rhythms, often irregular and changing within the same song. The proposal of concepts and suites, often freely inspired, the use of the italian language in sung pieces, the innovative creation always present even in the least experimental songs, sampled sounds mixed with analogic ones, as many other factors, confirm New Credo as a strongly eclectic group, with a good basical technique and who has got many positive results during the most important competitions (3rd place at Rescaldina Rock Festival 1990, 1st place at Arcisate Hi' Slang, 1st place at 'Somma sul palcoscenico' 1990 and 2nd place at 1991's edition, 17th place at 'Viva i giovani 1990' (among 507 competitors from all Italy and Suisse))

New Credo have recorded a 45rpm ('Somebody loves', Arexong records), have made an apparition in a compilation with the song 'Vetri di un sogno' as Franco Barbuto's band in1991 and have recorded the prog-promo cd FAFNIR ('Prologo' , Kaliphonia Record) in 1993. From Genuary the 7th to the 17th they were in Poland with the DZEM Agency for the promotion of Fafnir on radios and tvs.

On summer of '96 they partecipate in CAMEL Tribute, produced by Mellow Records (more than 2,000 copies sold in the States at the moment). In December '96 Marco Monteverde partecipated as a guest on cd "Carlo Maria Arosio - Rosso Fiaba" and as co-author in the cd “Stili”, after the tour all over the North Italy during the ‘97 with the “C.M. Arosio group”.

Actually, with the collaboration of G. D'Adda, the drummer of F. Battiato, as supervisor, the new cd is in preparation and it will be ready by the end of the year  with the production of Raoul Caprio for Kaliphonia Records. The actual repertory they propose, has to be considered as an heterogeneous, lively and special one: yoy can't absolutely lose it!
