BLACK GTO Alternative-Hard Rockers BLACK GTO serves up an intoxicating brew of hard rock, classic metal and modern heaviness. Talented fingers blaze across guitar strings as impassioned vocals edge across this hot sonic soundscape. A mix of old and new, classic meets today in a musical style that dodges easy genre labeling and is happy and excited to simply be energenic, entertaining Mello and Hard Rock. Energenic, powerful- How music makes people feel is also how BLACK GTO heavyness get people moving. They developed symbiosis with the art of songwriting and performance, returning to the music the feelings it inspires in the first place. "Music makes me feel energenic and powerful," BLACK GTO exclaimes, which is exactly the fiery vibe that flows out of their songs and into his pumped-up listeners. It's the perpetual, self-fueling motion of music. Every Step- And while BLACK GTO's music culls from the established pillars of metal and hard rock tradition as well as the new directions in hard music today, no one accuse him of mimicry. "I take every step to make my music sound different from other bands," they say, noting that of their own unique style. But rather than scaring those comfortable with conventional Rock parameters, BLACK GTO lures them into something new. The things that make great metal great are all there; it's just that they're filtered through his own experience and distinctive artistic mindset. The Artist at work- Vince Danna (Lead Guitarist and Vocals), played in a band named Deliverance in the late 80's; Deliverance toured Asia for the USO and nabbed the award for best band from the Commanding General of the U.S. Army in Korea.
