Upon inception, Reign of Lies was endorsed by the globally renowned clothing company “Keetch” whose endorsees’ include bands such as Meshuggah, Unearth and Fear Factory. After recording three albums and touring across Europe as a guitarist, Gianni Rosati “Giro” moved to Los Angeles and began his solo project Reign of Lies with the vision of finding musicians with the same passion and determination as himself.
