Platens - Between Two Horizons

Platens (Latin word for Bringer of Light) is a melodic rock project brainchild of Dario Grillo a young and talented singer, songwriter and musician born in Palermo, Italy. Dario has been the singer in the Italian Power Metal band Thy Majestie with whom he has recorded two albums (The Lasting Power and Hastings 1066) and one EP Echoes of War. This debut album features a melodic hard rock approach very close to the sound of such bands as Fair Warning, Terra Nova and Grand Illusion. Big bombastic hook lines, driving rhythms and magnificent keyboards tied together with incredible singing. Mastered by Mika Jussila at world-renowned Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, Finland (Stratovarius, Nighwish etc.). Frontiers. 2004.
