Info for The Nature of the Beast

Impellitteri kreiren mit "The nature of the beast", dem elften Album in der Bandgeschichte, ein umwerfendes, hochenergetisches und spannendes, neues musikalisches Abenteuer. Die großartigen Songs auf dem Album beinhalten süchtig machende Riffs, zerfetzende Gitarrensoli, Speed-Metal-Drumming, einen Bad Ass-Bass und Vocals, die an DIO, Dickinson, Pavarotti und Halford in ihren besten Jahren erinnern.

"Mit ihrer kraftvollen Melange aus neo-klassischem Power Metal und traditionellem Heavy Rock im 80er-Stil haben sich Bandleader/Gitarrist Chris Impellitteri & Co. längst einen verdienten Platz in den ewigen Annalen der harten Klänge erarbeitet. Anhand ihres elften Albums zementieren die Kalifornier diesen Status weiter auf eindrucksvolle Weise. Songs wie die Ohrwurm-Kandidaten „Masquerade“ und „Fire it up“, das rasante „Run for your life“, die mächtige Hymne „Kill the beast“ sowie das nach einem Bastard aus Queen und Malmsteen klingende Musical-Cover „Phantom of the opera“ zeigen die stilistische Bandbreite der Gruppe. Diese setzt sich, neben dem Saitenhexer selbst, hier aus Mega-Stimme Rob Rock (Axel Rudi Pell u.v.a.), Bassmann James Pulli und Drummer Jon Dette (ex-Iced Earth) zusammen. Bemerkenswert ist dabei die erstaunlich warme und erdige Produktion, für die Greg Reely verantwortlich ist, der bereits mit so unterschiedlichen Acts wie Machine Head und Coldplay arbeitete."
