    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.

    Stoner meets Progressive Rock with a great passion for science fiction – Gramma Vedetta is a unique beast offering space travel, brutalism and dystopian novels through big and heavy riffs


    “Fans of heavy riff, early ‘80s science fiction, progressive rock and stoner rock will feel at home with The Hum of the Machine. These are songs for thinking, but also to sing along.”
    Decibel Magazine

    “The Hum Of The Machine is a delicious evolution towards a very inventive stoner/psych/progressive. This album is full of great riffs, creativity, viral melodies and lots of great surprises. This album tastes like a Black Sabbath candy filled with a Rush ganache, seasoned with metallic spices. To be enjoyed without moderation!”
    Doom Charts

    “This is one hell of a contribution and a giant step forward sonically for Gramma Vedetta. That they self-recorded this incredibly eccentric and enjoyable album shows just how many other skills this
    trio have at their disposal. These guys are great rock musicians”
    Civil War London

    “An album that is wall-to-wall brilliance and will be getting repeated plays all year long.”
    Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

    “The band amply demonstrate that being ‘progressive’ doesn’t have to indicate tedious virtuosity and pompously fantastical lyrics, rather a willingness to take musical risks within the traditionally conservative music genres of stoner and doom metal. ”

about

One of the recurring sections during the Starlight Portal Show is The Electric Game. A sort of Olympics where players can change their identity with the help of some pills. The game master helps you to get used to the new clothes. Are we sure that this transformation is not part of a larger time-scale routine? Are you sure this is your first time playing The Electric Game?
This song is the fastest of the album, where Megadeth meets Kyuss and Monster Magnet.

lyrics

Have you heard the latest thrill
the new electric game.
Just accept the rules
and your life will change.

High resolution, authentic feeling.
Give that wheel a spin
The trip begins!

Knock yourself unconscious
Take these pills and save the day.
Are you feeling hazy? It’s your system scaling.
Press play, The Electric Game.

We salute you, the former man
There you have new memories,
Are you ready to play?

I’ll keep you plugged-in
Just a one-time fee.
You will be remembered
We will celebrate your deeds

Knock yourself unconscious
Take these pills and save the day.
It’s the system baby, fucking with your brain
Let’s play, The Electric Game.
