    Stoked to release this trip into an alternate universe, where big brutalist buildings overlook crowded cities and give the possibility to people to become pure digital entities.

    This 160g 12'' Vinyl LP is released in 2 versions:

    - Marble Effect (White and Black)
    - Haze Effect (Red and Blue)

    Gramma Vedetta draw inspiration from vintage sci-fi of the late 70s and early 80s. Heavily distorted guitars, soaring melodies and driving rhythms create a huge progressive sound that transcends this dimension.

    "This band are able to take obvious and retro influences and make them their own. The familiar elements sound fresh and quirky at almost every step, leading to an album that has something to discover on each successive play. " (Real Gone)

    "It's good to find so much creativity, finesse, good riffs and viral melodies concentrated in a single album. The Hum Of The Machine is a continuous explosion of lights and shadows in the world of heavy rock." (Metal Integral)

about

The opener song introduces the passage to the black hole and it is about repetitions, which are comfortable and also dangerous at the same time because it could not allow progress.
It describes the impact of the new world to the dreams of the protagonist. Will he be able to win the Orb?
The song features 4 sections: a space intro, a sung section with a solemn rhythm, a quiet bass solo section and a last part with a big repetitive Drop-C guitar Riff fighting with high pitched synthesisers.

lyrics

A million miles away
There’s a black dot painted on a wall.

The light has lost domain
The dimension soothes my brain.
It’s beautiful...

From a million miles away,
A thousand voices sing the same
repetitive refrain.

I can’t help but watch the show
Repetition messes with my brain,
It’s dangerous.

Plastic wizards are chasing
the slowest change.
They kneel before the Electric Lady
for the chance to win The Orb.

Here we are, the prefab breed,
Feeding people, creating needs.

From a million miles away
The same picture, a different name
decorates our graves.

Plastic wizards are chasing
the slowest change.
They kneel before the Electric Lady
for the chance to win The Orb.
