    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

This happens when you start scrolling memories of the past. As the Beatles said "yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away" but maybe it's just your faulty time machine not showing you the true colours. Dreams of big cities, dreams of spotlights that, once conquered, don't mean nothing, because of the burden that you have always carried with you: yourself.
If you are unable to change, you are dead before you are born.
This song reprises the solemn rhythm of A Chance To Win The Orb, and we tried to paint with music the brutalist architecture. Squared angles, wide surfaces that look smooth from afar but which shows lots of imperfections as you get closer. This looks like the Towers.

lyrics

A wanna live in the future of the past
With flying cars, with flying cars.

I took a trip down memory lane
I was tired of this world.
Looking for remains
of the life I once owned.

I had a look in my bedroom
little me caught in a vacuum
Magic at low resolution
Innocent lies and illusions.

A wanna live in the future of the past
With flying cars, with flying cars.

I cannot stand the present and
Tomorrow will be better than ever.
From my house, at the edge of it all?
I was told: "Buddy, this is hell"

The big lights, the Big City,
Romantic towers, like flowers of concrete.
The truth behind those walls:
"I was dead before I was born"

A wanna live in the future of the past
With flying cars, with flying cars.
