Artist
Aldo Giuntini's artistic career began at the start of the 1980's when he founded Cryin' Earth, a progressive rock group based in Leghorn in Northern Italy. And the fact that his "progressive" roots have coloured Giuntini's personal and artistic development is clearly evident in the innovative sounds of the first "Project" album "Volume I". Cryin' Earth played their own brand of refined and complex music that attracted a dedicated and coherent following, earning the youthful musicians the status of "cult band". The legendary concert at International Film Studio, attented by some of the most respected progressive music experts, was the ideal springboard for a remarkable career (the group was already getting excellent reviews in the music press). But the super concert pf 6 June 1984 was to be the last time that Giuntini played with Cryin' Earth - a decision he had already taken as a necessary sacrifice to enable him to move into the Heavy Metal scene. From 1984 to 1987 the italian guitarist concentrated on perfecting his distinctive sound - a skillful blend of the power of the greatest American virtuosos and the taste and cerebral approach typical of European players. Aldo now went on to set up his next band, a workshop combo called Sky Drivers, but the Savona-born musician soon realised that the only way to develop his ideas unadulterated was to make his name as a solo artist. In 1988 the Italian artist met producer Dario Mollo, a talented sound enginer specialised in Heavy Met
