This is a reissue of Impellitteri’s eighth album, originally released in ’97. I do love the partnership between Chris Impellitteri and Rob Rock as they haven’t made a bad record, they compliment each other so well. Rob’s powerful melodic voice is in tune with the wild and over the top guitar of Mr. Impellitteri.
She’d Your Blood shows this partnership in great effect. The vocal line and melody would not be out of place on any melodic rock/aor album, but add that epic guitar with as much crunch and widdle as is humanly possible, then it becomes a whole different metallic beast. I do love a track with a galloping double kick drum groove and fat huge guitar sound, and Fuel For The Fire fits the bill which makes it my favourite track on the record. Bleed In Silence is taking those old sabbath riffs and injecting them with power and groove. Everything Is You starts like a Metallica tune, then that killer riff and swinging groove slaps you round the face.
They are a criminally under appreciated band that puts out consistently great records.
9/10 from The Grooveman.
