Art Of Melody Music & Burning Minds Music Group are excited to announce all the details of "Of Poetry And Silent Mastery", new official studio album by Italian rock sensation, Platens. The project is the brainchild of talented vocalist, producer, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Dario Grillo, who decided to continue the legacy started with the first two albums "Between Two Horizons" (2004) and "Out Of The World" (2014), both enthusiastically received by fans and critics alike.

Now, after seven years from the release of the second studio album, Platens, is finally back with its strongest effort so far: "Of Poetry And Silent Mastery". The result is a masterful blending of melodic rock sound, AOR oriented melodies and clever heavy influences, all wisely mixed together by Dario's bombastic production work.

Dario says: "'Of Poetry And Silent Mastery' shows my idea of ??what art should represent. We live in frenetic and schizophrenic times where everything is measured on the basis of individual performance. Music seems to have become a competitive discipline, a sort of ring in which to measure one’s artistic skills at the expense of those of others. Everything is competition, demonstration of oneself, starting from the "Talent Shows", where thousands of bands that try to emerge, sponsored by the labels as the new sensations of the moment. The personal ego has repressed and eclipsed the true meaning of music, with the direct consequence of a qualitative crushing downwards. So mediocrity becomes the benchmark of the masses, who no longer know how to distinguish gold from shit. The new album is the natural evolution of 'Out Of The World', both in terms of lyrics and sound. The structures of the songs, however, are simpler and more immediate. The production emphasizes the guitar aspect much more than the orchestral and symphonic one. So it's a more direct and heavy metal oriented album than its predecessor".

"Of Poetry And Silent Mastery" is scheduled for release on July 23, 2021 via Art Of Melody Music / Burning Minds Music Group. A special personalized edition has been created by Outward Styles in a very limited quantity of 30 copies, and will be available exclusively on the Burning Minds Music Group's official online shop. CD graphics have been designed by Aeglos Art (Wheels Of Fire, Airbound, Raintimes, Alchemy, Room Experience), while the CD booklet features introductory liner notes written by Pippo "Sbranf" Marino (Metal.it). A dedicated Japanese release with two additional bonus tracks will be out instead on July 21, 2021 via Marquee/Avalon.
