│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I truly enjoy discovering new music in the genre ║ │
│║ I love. So when The Meister asked me to give the ║ │
│║ upcoming Ancillotti a listen, I was up for the ║ │
│║ challenge! As this is my first experience with ║ │
│║ the band, I cannot comment on the debut album, ║ │
│║ but their second full-length effort, Strike ║ │
│║ Back, certainly packs a punch! The Italian group ║ │
│║ is a family affair with Daniele ôBudö Ancillotti ║ │
│║ on vocals, his brother Sandro ôBidö Ancillotti ║ │
│║ on bass, Bidæs son, Brian Ancillotti on drums, ║ │
│║ and ôblood brotherö Luciano ôCianoö Toscani on ║ │
│║ guitar. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ You sense you are in for a wild ride as ôIntroö ║ │
│║ begins with a scratchy recording from the 1930Æs ║ │
│║ that is interrupted by a threatening demonic ║ │
│║ voice. This leads into the scorching ôTo Hell ║ │
│║ With Youö with fiery guitars and demanding beat. ║ │
│║ This is classic heavy metal at itÆs finest. Bud ║ │
│║ Ancillottiæs vocals are a powerful combination ║ │
│║ of the late Lemmy Kilmister and Rob Halford. ║ │
│║ Most of this album is extremely heavy, but there ║ │
│║ are a few songs included here that are, shall I ║ │
│║ say, more ôradio friendlyö as they fall closer ║ │
│║ to the hard rock side of the spectrum. I could ║ │
│║ certainly see more adventurous program directors ║ │
│║ taking a chance on ôFirestarterô, ôWhen Night ║ │
│║ Callsö or ôLonely Roadö as they could appeal to ║ │
│║ a broader audience. IÆm not sure this is their ║ │
│║ aim, though, as the bandÆs first single, the ║ │
│║ anthemic ôFightô, is a definite headbanger. With ║ │
│║ musicians as skilled as Ancillotti, why not play ║ │
│║ as fast and hard as you can? The quick pace of ║ │
│║ ôBurn, Witch, Burnö bears this out with blazing ║ │
│║ guitar over a relentless beat accompanied by ║ │
│║ growled lyrics. The group saves perhaps their ║ │
│║ heaviest tune for last. ôThe Hunterö is filled ║ │
│║ with traditional metal riffs, driving rhythm and ║ │
│║ catchy lyrics which leave you wanting more. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Now, before I give my one criticism of this ║ │
│║ album, let me admit that I only speak one ║ │
│║ language, English, so I admire those who are ║ │
│║ fluent in others. On Strike Back, it is quite ║ │
│║ obvious to me that English is not Budæs primary ║ │
│║ language. At times, the lyrics seem mumbled or ║ │
│║ the pronunciation is off the mark. It is a very ║ │
│║ shrewd marketing move by the band (or their ║ │
│║ management or label) to record in English as ║ │
│║ this will open up their bandpic-ancillottimusic ║ │
│║ to more markets. I get the reasoning behind it ║ │
│║ and as Bud becomes more comfortable with the ║ │
│║ language, I believe he will be as killer on ║ │
│║ these songs as he is in Italian. I find there ║ │
│║ are two types of people when it comes to music: ║ │
│║ those who listen to the instrumentation and ║ │
│║ donÆt really hear the lyrics; and those who love ║ │
│║ the lyrics and like to sing along to their ║ │
│║ favorite songs. I fall into the latter group ║ │
│║ which is most likely why this bothers me. ║ │
│║ However, music is a language of its own, and the ║ │
│║ issue is only a minor distraction. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The musicianship of Ancillotti is above reproach ║ │
│║ and that is proven time and again on Strike ║ │
│║ Back. Brian Ancillotti is an unrelenting beast ║ │
│║ on percussion which forces his dad, Bid, to keep ║ │
│║ up on bass and Ciano Toscani is a shredder of ║ │
│║ the highest order. Budæs husky voice ties the ║ │
│║ whole package together. These songs are both ║ │
│║ well written and masterfully performed. I ║ │
│║ enjoyed this album and look forward to what they ║ │
│║ will do in the future. Strike Back is scheduled ║ │
│║ to be released on September 16, 2016, on Pure ║ │
│║ Steel Records. If you enjoy traditional heavy ║ │
│║ metal, I encourage you to check out this Italian ║ │
│║ family! ║ │
