A new Impellitteri
"Crunch" album is always big news, so it comes as no
surprise that Galaxy Records will release
"Crunch" soon after the band make a very strong statement in
"Screaming Symphony" and "Eye of the Hurricane" album. "Eye of
the Hurricane" is the first Impellitteri release in the
Republic of the Philippines. This outstanding release
features 11 new tracks of pure melodic metal. Includes
the blistering title track and the highly acclaimed ballad "On
and On". This is the most diverse album yet from
Impellitteri and has received highest praise throughout
Asia. After the successful and impressive performance of
the album in the local market Galaxy Records will locally
release two(2) other Impellitteri albums namely: "Answer to
the Master" and "Screaming Symphony".

Joshua
is one of the most promising bands ever to emerge in christian
metal. RCA-BMG apparently felt the same way, they picked
"Intense Defense" in 1988 for mainstream distribution.
This album was recorded at Dierks Studio's in Germany and is
indeed a treasure of powerful hard rock melodic tunes.
The album includes Reach Up, I've been
waiting, Only Yesterday, Crying out for Love, Living on
the Edge, Tearing at my
Heart, remembering You, Look to the Sky, Don't you know and
Stand Alone.
Joshua is
Joshua Perahia on all guitars, Rob Rock on
vocals, Emil Lech on bass, Greg Shult on

northeast region of Ontario, canadian-born guitarist Dennis Cameron

M.A.R.S. Attack!
These excellent professional players sessions are heralded
as one of the most important release in the music history. A
masterpiece of hard power-driving neo-classical rock with Tony
MacAlpine(guitars/keyboards),Tommy
Aldridge(drums), Rudy Sarzo(bass), and
Rob Rock (vocals). Rob made the album
Project Driver in 1986 under Shrapnel Records.
After the session David Coverdale offered Rudy Sarzo and Tommy
Aldridge to do the 1987 Whitesnake videos and tour and to also
record the next Whitesnake album, "Slip of the Tongue". Thus,
you have the basic plot of the disintegration of M.A.R.S. Project
Driver. |
The Driver is
Hot!
| Driver
is an awesome band that should have been signed for global
distribution. This EP is a great collection of melodic heavy
metal tunes. The EP was a demo released in 1990. It includes:
I'm a
Warrior
Heart's On Fire
Only Love Can Save Me Now
Fly
Away
I Believe In Love
(A sixth song from these sessions,
Tears that I cry, remains unreleased.)
"Warrior" was a song
originally written by Rob Rock & Chris Impellitteri when they
were writing songs for the original Impellitteri demo EP in
1987.
The song "Warrior" was also recorded by Rob's Driver
(released on the Album Network Tune Up Unsigned #10 promotional CD,
dated September 25, 1989, re-titled I'm a Warrior). In 1994, Rob
Rock and Chris Impellitteri took the song with Impellitteri and they
recorded it for their Answer To The Master album,under the title
song "Warrior", out on JVC-Victor Entertainment, Japan and Music For
Nations in Europe. |

The Rock Cries out in
Germany!
Rob Rock recall his memorable experience with
guitar great Axel Rudi Pell during the recording of the album
Nasty Reputation"in 1991: ""When I was recording with Axel Rudi
Pell in Germany. That album I flew over there as a studio
musician to sing for Axel, he said "go for it man, do what you
want to do, we don’t care what you do, just do what you want to do"
so I would come in everyday I was there for like 10 days, and I
would listen to the tracks they recorded and then I would go out to
the kitchen of the studio. I would write lyrics like 4 to 5 hours
then we would go out to dinner and after dinner I come back and I
would sing the song like 10-o’clock at night and I would sing the
song only 3 to 4 hours, that I would give it everything I have and
do it in my own way and those guys when I look to the glass and see
them at the board they were yelling and screaming, they are so
happy. To me is a great memory in my mind, they are so excited about
the performance. " |
