│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Axel Rudi PellÆs career began in 1980 with the ║ │
│║ band, Steeler, who sold over 30,000 copies of ║ │
│║ their commercially most successful release, ║ │
│║ Strike Back, and brought out their fourth and ║ │
│║ final album, Undercover Animal, in 1988. In ║ │
│║ November of that year, Pell formed his own group ║ │
│║ together with J÷rg Deisinger (ex-Bonfire), ║ │
│║ drummer J÷rg Michael, bassist Thomas Smuszynski ║ │
│║ (ex-U.D.O.) and the American vocalist, Charlie ║ │
│║ Huhn (Ted Nugent, Gary Moore, Victory). Their ║ │
│║ debut album, Wild Obsessions, arrived at the ║ │
│║ stores one year later, followed by Nasty ║ │
│║ Reputation, for whom Pell enlisted the American ║ │
│║ frontman, Rob Rock (M.A.R.S, Impellitteri), who ║ │
│║ was replaced during the subsequent German tour ║ │
│║ by former Malmsteen vocalist, Jeff Scott Soto. ║ │
│║ With Soto as a new member, the third album, ║ │
│║ Eternal Prisoner (1992), was undeniable proof ║ │
│║ that the band had found their own, unmistakable ║ │
│║ style. One year later, Pell brought out The ║ │
│║ Ballads, an album featuring his most ║ │
│║ accomplished rock ballads. With Between The ║ │
│║ Walls (1994) and the live recording, Made In ║ │
│║ Germany, the guitarist from Bochum held on to ║ │
│║ his typical style even in the post-grunge era. ║ │
│║ The subsequent Black Moon Pyramid (1996) was the ║ │
│║ second Pell album in succession to make the ║ │
│║ German album charts. 1997 saw the arrival of ║ │
│║ PellÆs eighth offering, Magic, featuring a ║ │
│║ thematically consistent concept based on ║ │
│║ supernatural stories. Magic also entered the ║ │
│║ charts, followed by Oceans Of Time, the ║ │
│║ commercially most successful album at that time ║ │
│║ by the Axel Rudi Pell band, and the continuation ║ │
│║ of PellÆs ballad concept (The Ballads II, 1999). ║ │
│║ Following the departure of Jeff Scott Soto, Pell ║ │
│║ enlisted American vocalist Johnny Gioeli (ex- ║ │
│║ Hardline) for the production of Oceans Of Time, ║ │
│║ The Ballads III and his 2000 release, Masquerade ║ │
│║ Ball. His characteristic voice also enhanced the ║ │
│║ subsequent releases, Shadow Zone (2002) and ║ │
│║ Kings & Queens (2004), as well as the highly ║ │
│║ accomplished Mystica (2006) and the covers ║ │
│║ album, Diamonds Unlocked. Tales Of The Crown ║ │
│║ (2008), the most recent studio recording by the ║ │
│║ ARP Band, surprised with a number of innovations ║ │
│║ and made no. 41 of the German album charts. The ║ │
│║ Crest is set to repeat this triumphal march. ║ │
