GRANTZ - The Meaning Of Life (2021) *0dayrox Exclusive* full
HERE

Good rock music doesn’t recognize geo-location, and Brazil isn’t strange to have been delivering over the years quality, timeless AOR melodies to the world. Today BANNED WEBSITE brings to you in exclusive the debut work of GRANTZ, a pure AOR project created by singer / songwriter and musician Danilo Brandao.

Danilo is an experienced dude member of several Brazilian hard rock / metal acts (Evening Star, Arkade Lover, Trigger) and when he heard H.E.A.T’s debut album in 2008 it blow his mind. That’s was the kind of music he wanted to play, and GRANTZ born.

The project began in 2015 and while included a full band line up and did some gigs, Danilo’s whish was to develop the full thing by his own. Being an accomplished multi-instrumentalist, he performed everything on ”The Meaning Of Life”, GRANTZ’s debut. Hearing the final product it’s obvious he took all that necessary time to polish arrangements, performance and production.

”The Meaning Of Life” is a wonderful slice of classic ’80s AOR, from soaring vocals and melodic guitars to keyboard runs and ‘real’ drums.

It’s a real pleasure for BANNED WEBSITE to present this lovable piece of underground AOR, so if you love the genre you need to hear GRANTZ’s ”The Meaning Of Life” asap!

With Scandinavian new wave of Melodic Rock AOR influences, ‘Don’t Stay Away’ opens with swirling guitars, big keys and Danilo’s smooth vocals.

‘How Many Times’ is one of those classy midtempo AOR staples where keys create an atmosphere bringing to mind primo British atmospheres from the genre, while title track mix the best of both worlds, uptempo yet extremely melodious with a delicious chorus.

‘Fighting for Love’ is very keyboard driven and here some mid-Eighties American sounds appear, ‘Surrounds Me’ has strong guitars however sparkling keys turn thing very AORish not far to Greek AORsters Wild Rose.

‘True Love Don’t Make You Cry’ has an AOR ballad feel all over, with Danilo adding substance to avoid common places or sugary for this type of songs. Nice guitar solo too.

A one-man project all managed by Danilo himself and obviously on a budget, that’s not detract GRANTZ’s ”The Meaning Of Life” resulting a lovely collection of classy AOR songs.

We love ‘underground AOR / Melodic Rock’ projects like this one made from the heart, for the love of the genre. And we are here to let you know.

    • Looks like complete bullshit. Look at all of the videos from this channel: https://www.youtube.com/@infogaming786/videos
    • Is this true, I don't see much about it anywhere else?  
    • Well they just posted this on Facebook, so I would certainly hope this is a sign a new album is incoming
    • Sounds pretty good all round...just preordered..released 22nd Nov  
    • Luckily I will hopefully be front row so wont make a mess on anyones back.
    • If we never hear from you again, at least we'll know you went out with a smile on your face. 
    • Wow! Thank you so much mate. That's a massive compliment. That was the first one I wrote and I think it's my favourite so far. Like Geoff, I'm tending to draw on past personal experiences for my lyrics and that one means a lot. I was thrilled when the AI came up with that interpretation. 
    • Well this is some excellent news. Going to see Sophie Lloyds first headline show on 17th Oct in London (tiny club called The Underworld) and it has just been announced that the support act will be Chez Kane... can I handle two fit birds peforming on stage or will my heart give out before the show is over?
    • I don't rate or grade albums with any kinda numbering system or percentage. All I do is think which were the albums I enjoyed most, which generally means got played the most (I mean you don't play the worst albums over and over again for months), with memorable songs. Then when it comes to what order they go in. Once again, I just go with what I feel got the most airplay for me over the course of time. Obviously an album released in Jan is gonna potentially have more play time than one released in November, but It's down to longevity as well. If I play an album solidly for a month then move on, it's probably gonna be top 10, but if other albums are still being played regularly 3 or more months after release, those are gonna rank higher. I mean this year Judas Priest was a fairly early release in the year, but I am still playing it now, although  not as often. Then an album like Mick Mars which I loved, but has kinda fallen off my radar in the last six months, will rank a lot lower. I try to not go for recency bias as well even though I have been listening to one album in my top 10 for only a week, but it was such an insantaneous album I know its gonna get heavy play time for the next few months.
