    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

And then you find yourself thinking about the things you've seen and heard in the last few days. You turn on the Transmission and then sentences, rules and images overlap without any means. You have a hard time putting them in order.
You are not good enough, don't eat too many carbs. Drown in rum and then go for a run to keep fit. All this while Santa Claus and God enjoy the show, having lunch at the same table.
This song is inspired by Melvins and Pink Floyd and Faith No More. A slow triplet feel song with a lot of dynamics, from clean and spacey guitars to big mountain riff and high pitched guitar synths. Hello.

lyrics

Transmissions on.
The side effects, when the mood is low.

I’m going for a run, I'm watered with rum.

Being dismissed for no reason
It’s the price of freedom.

They don’t want me in their club
I don’t belong

I don't think that's right
Well, I think that's right.

I am fine, I am not crying.
I am just touching myself.

Hello,
How life has changed so dramatically.
Positive words? God, that bores me.
I am dead and gone, still, I feel alive.
This is so wrong, but I think it's right.
Why do you pray for the Lord?
(Transmission On)

Boom Boom Boom
Peekaboo I see you.

Say hi to your mum.
We had some fun.

There is a stop in my brain.
Hands holding me tight
This road is too steep.
I feel this way since thirteen.

Hello,
How life has changed so dramatically.
Positive words? God, that bores me.
I am dead and gone, still, I feel alive.
This is so wrong, but I think it's just right.
Why do you still pray to the Lord?
