GIANT’s come-back album “Promise Land” will hit the market on February 26th in Europe and March 9th in the USA. In late 80's, Dann Huff and his drummer brother David hooked up with Alan Pasqua and Mike Brignardello to form Giant, and eventually signed with A&M Records and released 1989's “Last of the Runaways”, featuring a top-20 hit with "I'll See You in My Dreams". The follow up album "Time to Burn" in 1991 was more aggressive but still magnificent. Soon after the release of “Time To Burn”, Alan Pasqua left the band and went back to session work. The band toured o Europe without him, but soon after disbanded. Although the reunited album “III” was released in 2001, Dann’s busy schedule along with the other members’ commitments, made the reunion impossible to carry on. As time went by it became apparent that Dann Huff could not be a full part of this concept, even though he loved everything that Giant was. Thus original members, drummer David Huff and bassist Mike Brignardello, who wanted to go back to Rock, started an endless research for the right musicians that could be part of a renewed Giant line-up. And in the end the choice fell on singer extraordinaire Terry Brock (Strangeways, Seventh Key) and on John Roth (Winger) on guitars. In April 2009 the band started the writing and the recording sessions of the new album, with Dann Huff himself participating to the sessions, co-writing with the new line-up members. Please note that bonus track only available in the first pressing in digipak “Promise Land” was mixed by Ben Fowler and mastered by Joe Palmaccio.
