│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The ultra dynamic label Frontiers Music is ║ │
│║ excited to announce the release of the brand new ║ │
│║ IMPELLITTERI, the ninth studio album entitled ║ │
│║ ôVenomö on April 17th in Europe and April 21st ║ │
│║ in North Americaà Ok, first I must confess that ║ │
│║ IÆm a die-hard of this guitar-alien-hero and ║ │
│║ Italian-American shredding monster, hiding under ║ │
│║ the name of Chris Impellitteri and consequently, ║ │
│║ I'm a big supporter of his band, featuring as ║ │
│║ vocalist, the one and only Rob Rock (DRIVER/ex ║ │
│║ M.A.R.S./ex JOSHUA). ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Their latest masterpiece ôWicked Maidenö was one ║ │
│║ of my favorite CD of 2009, however, I will do my ║ │
│║ best to write an unbiased review and a fair ║ │
│║ evaluation useful for the non-guitar addicts. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Secondly, kudos to the Frontiers guys for the ║ │
│║ early batch of 2015Æs hot releases with ║ │
│║ impressive stuff like REVOLUTION SAINTS/ECLIPSE ║ │
│║ and most of all Jorn Lande/Trond HolterÆs ║ │
│║ DRACULA ôSwing Of Deathöà Obviously they have ║ │
│║ reached the optimum climax of the melodic ║ │
│║ Valhalla! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Frontiers Records will release the album with ║ │
│║ two superb new exclusive bonus tracksà öRock ║ │
│║ Through The Nightö & ôReach For the Skyö, once ║ │
│║ again I believe that ôVenomö will make some kind ║ │
│║ of consensus around its wake in the experts ║ │
│║ circles. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I think the best way to describe this album is ║ │
│║ to take a minimalist approach, unrelated to the ║ │
│║ demanding music style, but don't think that it's ║ │
│║ very complex because itÆs mostly and clearly ║ │
│║ focused on riffage before anything else, then ║ │
│║ it's full of intricate melodies courtesy of some ║ │
│║ catchy chorus full of hook mania, constantly ║ │
│║ delivered with passion by Mr Rock. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ This is Pure American Metal! Clearly in ║ │
│║ concordance with today's standards but mostly ║ │
│║ related with the last thirty years of Steel ║ │
│║ supremacy (the 80Æs influenced ôFace The ║ │
│║ Enemyö/öHolding Onö)àEnergy is also a big part ║ │
│║ of this album, enhancing the dynamics with many ║ │
│║ changing shifts of heaviness and variations in ║ │
│║ thickness (the excellent modernist "Nightmare"), ║ │
│║ keeping the strong interest and the great ║ │
│║ equilibrium of sensations ! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The venerable Chris Impellitteri (ANIMETAL USA), ║ │
│║ the lightning fast virtuoso, the six strings ║ │
│║ maestro and shredder in chief, had adopted years ║ │
│║ ago a more edgy composing method, axed around ║ │
│║ hyper intense riffs with more Metal density and ║ │
│║ a slightly darkest direction, this new vision ║ │
│║ already helps to built the solid foundations of ║ │
│║ the fascinating pair of albums like öCrunchö and ║ │
│║ of course the emblematic ôWicked Maidenö. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The title "Jehova" is a good example of a ║ │
│║ smashing song where the band really turns it on ║ │
│║ like a full blown nitro engine, staccato and ║ │
│║ razor sharp riffage, tortuous, lethal as a ║ │
│║ viper, expanded with a damn addictive refrain ║ │
│║ and a perfect alchemy between the guitar and ║ │
│║ bass parts ! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ "Empires Of Lies", the title track and ôDomino ║ │
│║ Theoryö also features some typical explosive ║ │
│║ guitar licks, a few Neo-Classical Harmonies ║ │
│║ (öHolding Onö), full of spectacular fast paced ║ │
│║ double-kick patterns by new drummer and also ║ │
│║ ANIMETAL USA partner John Dette (ex TESTAMENT/ ║ │
│║ ex SLAYER) yet enhanced by the gorgeous ║ │
│║ mesmerizing arrangements of harmonized choirs ║ │
│║ and the high pitched technical vocal parts in ║ │
│║ the sublime tradition of Rob Rock. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The traditional sound of ôWe Own The Nightö or ║ │
│║ ôRiseö reveal another side of the band, a more ║ │
│║ groovy and Classic Hard Rock sensibility with ║ │
│║ still some dangerous and furious smoking leads, ║ │
│║ not a weak song in sight ! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ During the writing session for the unmissable ║ │
│║ ôVenomö the band pushed the limitations of their ║ │
│║ artistic abilities to the maximum, a boost in ║ │
│║ both the performances and compositions skills, ║ │
│║ finally reaching different music areas and ║ │
│║ focused on quality over quantity, exploring each ║ │
│║ creative ideas in full, with only the same focus ║ │
│║ to record the best album possible in order to ║ │
│║ honor American Melodic Power Metal in its purest ║ │
│║ integrity . ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ As always my only criticism is about the short ║ │
│║ length of the brilliant solo spots, in my ║ │
│║ opinion way, way too short : Indeed, I always ║ │
│║ feel a little frustrated that Chris donÆt follow ║ │
│║ his unique art for just a few more barsà In ║ │
│║ öTime Machineö the amazing solo section could ║ │
│║ have last forever, more reasonably it could been ║ │
│║ twice longer! ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ After the superb and highly exciting 2009Æs ║ │
│║ ôWicked Maidenö, the almighty IMPELLITTERI is ║ │
│║ about to demonstrated to the skeptical world, ║ │
│║ full of cynical unbelievers ,deaf and unfaithful ║ │
│║ impostors, that the most clever and passionate ║ │
│║ style of music ever played, is still alive and ║ │
│║ kicking todayà Still highly venomous! ║ │
