Graal Tales Untold (2007)

The band brings back the old but yet evergreen sound of the 70's, influenced by bands like Uriah Heep, Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy and Jethro Tull but also by American bands like Kansas. Hard and immediate riffs are followed by acoustic parts, which lead to dreaming and ancient melodies. A deep and warm vocal timbre, creates interesting contrasts with very rough guitars. Definitely a jump into the past to invite you to discover once again the pure emotions that only the best Hard Rock can deliver.

The Italian quintet GRAAL first came to prominence in 2005 when it released its full-length debut album "Realm of Fantasy" (self-released on Cd and Lp). Since then the band has hooked up with label Bloodrock Records, and two new more productions have seen the light: "Tales Untold" in 2007 and "Legends Never Die" in early 2011. Also in 2013 Bloodrock reissued on double Lp their debut. "Chapter Iv", the brand new album, is far by the most mature and complete of their discography, underlining a constant and progressive growth. Musically Graal is placed well inside the retro-oriented hard rock universe: few touches of southern rock Molly Hatchet-style, some details heralding a plausible Deep Purple influence, others with similarities closer to Iron Maiden and early 80's UFO, with occasional additional flavorings folk-oriented.
