Now, here is a band that have consistently put out albums since they released their first EP back in ’87. Here we are, nearly 40 years later with album 19, which includes two best of’s. You know what you are gonna get here as they never stray too far from the path: high octane heavy metal with ripping solos, great melodies, and memorable hooks.

Joining Mr. Impellitteri this time is powerhouse vocalist Rob Rock, James Pulli on bass, and ex Slayer skins man Paul Bostaph. I have quite a few albums by these guys, I’m a huge fan of their music and this one is up there for me. Killer tunes with some great over the top riffage and pounding grooves. No overblown songs here as the longest track is 4:27, just straight to the point.

Of course, Chris is not only a monster riff lord but his leads are blinding and it’s nice to hear him ripping it up. Tough to pick a favourite track as this is top notch material we have here, but I’m going with Superkingdom. Very cool riff and Rob’s giving it the beans with that oh so cool voice. Really, I could have picked any of the tunes because this album is killer.

If you’re a fan you will have this anyway, but if you’re new to the party, then dive in. I guarantee you will love this.
