PLATENS (Haramaic word for "cosmic equilibrium") is a melodic rock project brainchild of Dario Grillo a young and talented singer, songwriter and musician born in Palermo, Italy.

Dario has been the singer in the Italian Power Metal band THY MAJESTIE with whom he has recorded two albums ("The Lasting Power" and "Hastings 1066") and one Ep "Echoes of War".

Dario left the band in October 2003 in order to dedicate all his energies to Platens, his new musical project, where he plays all the instruments.

Frontiers Records president and A&R director, Serafino Perugino, heard the first demos and was enthusiast with what he heard. The debut album is entitled "Between Two Horizons" and features a melodic hard rock approach very close to the sound of such bands as Fair Warning, Giant, Survivor, Terra Nova and Grand Illusion.

Big bombastic hooklines, driving rhythms and magnificent keyboards tied together with an incredible singing.

The album was mastered by Mika Jussila at world-renowned Finnvox studios (Stratovarius, Nighwish etc.)

This is what PLATENS has to offer to the dedicated listener proving that another talent to watch out for has born !
