Gran Torino - The Delphic Prophecy (2020)

Gran Torino is a band of four Italian gentlemen who in the past enjoyed playing the classic masters of rock and hard rock, such as Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin, and then started to approach the sophisticated and enchanting world of progressive.So the band decided to start a new ambitious project, which was born with the will to create a product that could resume the refinement and the technicality of the great progressive bands of the 70’s, with the power and the originality of their own rock’n’roll.

Every member of the band has studied in important Italian music schools, and they have different musical past and experience:David Cremoni, the guitar player, is also graduated in double bass from the conservatory; his great experience comes from many cooperations with great artists, such as John Wetton from King Crimson.Alessio Pieri was born with the study of classic organ, and then his curiosity was stimulated by metal harmonies;Gian Maria Roveda: his heroes were John Bonham and Ian Paice, but then he started to look for a more intimate study of drum, in order to create his own drumming, powerful but refined at the same time; Fabrizio Visentini is a bass player who spent most of his time studying jazz and then fusion techniques and harmonies. Their favourite progressive bands are Genesis, Kansas, king Crimson, Jethro Tull, Spock’s beard, Area, PFM. The band has already realized two instrumental albums:the first one, “grantorinoProg”, was edited by Galileo Records and distributed by Gonzo Multimedia;the second album “Fate of a Thousand Worlds”, was edited and distributed by Musea Records.So, after a serious work of composition, arrangement, recording, and mixing, they are coming with their third album. The creation of this new work has been inspired by emotionality, more then by technics, and you can hear the influence of some other great artists such as David Bowie, or Robert Smith from The Cure.The tracks are a sort of soundtrack of an imaginary travel in the mythological world.Technicality, emotions and fun, all mixed together to create a new product:“The Delphic Prophecy”.
