*. Gran Torino .*

Album: Fate of a Thousand Worlds (2013)
Genre: Prog Rock (Symphonic/Heavy/Jazz/Exp.)  /  Italy

GRAN TORINO is a young italian band, originating from the Verona area. The foursome came to life just before the New Millenium, aiming at covering the classics from LED ZEEPELIN or DEEP PURPLE. After a decade practising, GRAN TORINO felt it was time for composing its own music. "GranTorinoProg" (2011) features complex instrumental music, still melodic though. It was followed by "Fate Of A Thousand Worlds" (Musea, 2013). This second effort proves to be really exciting, displaying over-the-top Progressive rock, with influences ranging from JETHRO TULL (Without flute) or KANSAS (Without violin), to LIQUID TENSION EXPERIMENT. Not to be missed ! (www.musearecords.com)
