BORN IN CESENA IN 1987, DANIELE MAZZA IS THE FOUNDER, MAIN SONGWRITER AND LYRICIST OF THE SYMPHONIC POWER METAL ACT ANCIENT BARDS. THERE IS GREAT OPERA IN EVERY ITALIAN TEMPERAMENT. DANIELE IS NO EXCEPTION. THE MULTI-TALENTED COMPOSER, HAILING FROM THE EMILIA ROMAGNA AREA, CROWNS HIS RISE IN THE NEO-CLASSICAL MUSIC WORLD WITH A MONUMENTAL ORCHESTRAL COMPOSITION, THE FIRST SOLO ALBUM OF HIS CAREER - AN EPIC CINEMATIC FILMSCORE, TAILOR-MADE FOR THE MOVIES. With InchImmortalsInch, he'll appeal to a broad spectrum of classically oriented music fans - aficionados of film score giants such as Hans Zimmer (InchPearl HarborInch, InchRain ManInch) as well as friends of New York's bombast rockers Trans-Siberian Orchestra (InchBeethoven's Last NightInch) or Sweden's Stratocaster Paganini, Yngwie Malmsteen (InchConcerto Suite for Electric Guitar and Orchestra in E-flat MinorInch). The facets of the eleven equally soulful and powerfully staged tracks reflect Daniele's original passion for highly emotional film music - very much in the spirit of his admired legends Thomas Bergersen and Nick Phoenix aka Two Steps From Hell and their work for numerous cinema blockbusters. The solo voice of InchImmortalsInch (on the balladesque track InchTime To GoInch) was contributed by soprano Sara Squadrani (Ancient Bards). Aresea vocalist Chiara Di Mare can be heard providing background vocals to accompany the choir sequences. The lead guitars magically hovering above the deep sound carpet are provided by Ancient Bards guitarist Claudio Pitronik.

- CD deluxe gatefold digi-sleeve echoes the vibe of the original LP - Includes a 24-page booklet featuring lyrics and insightful essay by long-term Gong fan Mark Paytress (Mojo magazine)- CD comes in an inner printed wallet.Formed in 1969 by Daevid Allen, one of the founder members of Soft Machine, Gong established itself as one of the most unique, innovative, and experimental rock groups of the 70s.InchI have a distinct feeling that Daevid Allen is one of the few true geniuses that have been thrown up by the rock media... a Dylan Thomas of another ageInchSteve Turner, 1971Absurd, anarchic, and powerfully psychedelic, Camembert Electrique is the second album by Gong. Originally released in France on BYG/Actuel in 1971, then licensed to a young Richard Branson for his fledgling Virgin tag in the UK in 1974, this iconic and influential recording is still devastatingly fresh sounding in the 21st century. Weirdness, wisdom, outré rock of the 'highest' order - as you'd expect from the founding-father of acid-rock Daevid Allen.InchThis is a classic... Camembert Electrique remains undated.Inch All Music Guide
