The in vitro origin of Misty Morning came in 1995, exactly in the head of El Brujo Luke (Luca Moretti: vocals and guitars) who, along with MaxBax (Massimo Vendittozzi: bass), keeps this entity in an embryonic stage until 2007, when Frankie Insulina (Francesco de Dominicis: drums) joined the band. After a year of live performances, the trio is ready to record the lysergic proof and the mystical vision of “Martian Pope” giving birth to its self-produced CD. This pachyderm of heavy rock received an all-positive and enthusiastic feedbacks both from press and audience. On 2009, the ensemble appears on the Italian Doom Stoner scene with an intense live activity crowning the band on the “Stoned Hand of Doom V” stage as opening act for the American band Radio Moscow. A massive U.S. radios’ broadcasting allows the band to sign for Doomanoid Records. The British label released a completely remixed and remastered reissue of the band's debut E.P featuring exclusive new artwork by Jason Juta (Star Wars RPG artist) and previously unreleased bonus track - A cover of The Wizard by Black Sabbath, given the Misty Morning treatment. Misty Morning can now land on foreign stages, gaining exciting success in Ireland and England, especially during the final date of their tour with the unforgettable performance at the Snooty Fox, legendary English venue. The Italian trio returns to the head quarter in search of a personal connotation and new musical dimensions. In the spring of 2010 Misties replenish their ranks with a new member, “rejetto” (Massimo Melina: keyboard, samples and vocoder), as he likes to call himself: now the band is a quartet, indeed. Psychedelia and Progressive creep between the fat rocky riffage and the band begins to take particular care for live performances by enriching them with dreamlike video projections: here’s the “Misty Morning Screen Experience in Cinemascope”’s era and the “Meet the Misties” series of events in Rome, where they share the stage with significant Roman rock bands. Recently the band’s released “Saint Shroom”, a transparent red vinyl maxi single, 12” 45 RPM, forerunner of the forthcoming album, planned to be released by the end of the year, always on Doomanoid Records.
"Misty Morning seems to be a doom rock destabilization of the popular cultural reality.there is too much experience behind the wheel of this band to plainly copy others. It's hard to make completely original doom rock, but these guys have given it a fair shot. Also I'd like to commend the band for their vocalist who manages to sing in a well pronounced English, which so many Italian bands fail to do."

"Η ποικιλία αυτή, μαζί με την ιδανική αλλαγή του tempo των τραγουδιών, κάνει το άκουσμα όχι μόνο ευχάριστο αλλά και πλήρως καλοδεχούμενο."
Γιώργος Ζαρκαδούλας - Rocking.gr
"This debut is a look at something great to come."
Doom Metal Alliance
"I'm pretty confident these guys could produce a doom classic. These guys do have two big things in their favour; immense riffs and huge songs. If there is any justice in the world, see these guys rise above the pack and become contenders in time. Do yourselves a big favour and have a listen."
Ollie - Sleeping Shaman
"A good crunch in Stoner / Doom Metal, with heaviness dripping from every second, every riff of it. All in all, this is an efficiently blended EP, coherent and catchy. No reason not to record and release an awesome LP now." Tasty! 80%

“Ripercorre i sentieri cari ai Black Sabbath, ripercorsi in compagnia di H.P.Lovecraft”
Umberto Profazio - Music Boom
"I loro maestri si riconoscono facilmente, ma è la grandissima capacità di fonderli e rielaborare la proposta, che permette loro di candidarsi come una delle nuove realtà più interessanti degli ultimi anni. Chi vi scrive li considera la rivelazione dell'anno domini 2008. Nel marasma mondiale, un'altra band italiana che può scrivere il suo nome nel panorama mondiale dello stoner-doom.
Questo, e molto di più, nell'esordio folgorante dei Misty Morning. Rivelazione dell'anno, indietro non si torna. Nuntio Vobis Gaudium Magnum, Habemus Martianum Papam, Habemus Misty Morning." 8.5

“Sounds heavy, very heavy. Martian, feels completely crazy.”

"Alors si vous en avez marre d'attendre le prochain Cathedral, commandez vous aussi votre billet pour un voyage au pays du Cobra Porno, vous ne le regretterez pas." Excellent 5/6

"Sorprendente produzione d'una band da tenere senz'altro d'occhio." 4/5
Stefano Ricci - Music Boom
"Già sentiti dal vivo ad uno splendido concerto al Sinister Noise (Roma), S.H.O.D. opening party. Bisogna dare atto a questi ragazzi per la loro coerenza, fin dall’intro si è trasportati in un universo sonoro pesante quanto lisergico." 4/5
