BIOGRAPHY:
Impellitteri is a Christian heavy metal band from USA formed and led by guitarist Chris Impellitteri in 1987. Since then, the band has released numerous albums to critical praise, mainly due to Chris Impellitteri's speed/shred style of playing. The band's style is often compared to Racer X, while Chris' is compared to Yngwie Malmsteen. The band is currently on hiatus as Chris recently joined a Los Angeles band.American Impellitteri is basically a musical outlet for skilled guitarist Chris Impellitteri with the assistance of a fairly fluctuating line-up, and the band has had its share of ups and down but has also earned itself a well-deserved name on the neo-classical metal scene.In 1987, the three musicians recorded the Mike Davis-produced mcd Impellitteri, with Chris Impellitteri taking care of the bass as well. The music consisted of formularized neo-classical heavy metal and suffered from a mediocre production. This effort gained only very little success but the band nevertheless carried on with bassist Ted Days in order to perform at concerts. However within short notice, this line-up fell apart.In 1988, Chris Impellitteri founded a second version of Impellitteri with the English singer Graham Bonnet, bassist Chuck Wright, keyboarder Phil Wolfe, and drummer Pat Torpey. Later that year, the band achieved a major breakthrough in Japan with the Cliff Cultreri-produced Stand in Line, which featured a guest appearance from bassist Randy Rand. This release focused on the English hard-rock of the 1970s. Wright and Torpey immediately left Impellitteri, for what reason the band continued with bassist Dave Spitz and drummer Stet Howland. In 1990, Bonnet and Wolfe defected, and Impellitteri thus employed singer Mark Weitz and the French keyboarder Claude Schnell. The band cut some tracks collectively known as Holy Grail, but these efforts were shelved, and Impellitteri subsequently disbanded.In 1992, Rob Rock, Chris Impellitteri and Chuck Wright ressurected Impellitteri with drummer Ken Mary, whereupon the musicians recorded Grin and Bear It, which featured a guest appearance from the backing vocalists Michael Shotton and Mike Smith. This record flopped musically since the band experimented with too many loose ends and ideas from contemporary heavy-rock. Wright and Mary immediately left Impellitteri, which continued with bassist James Amelio Pulli and drummer Mark Bistany. In 1994, the band recorded the Mike Tacci-produced mcd Victim of the System, which featured a guest appearance from keyboarder Claude Schnell, drummer Ken Mary, and the backing vocalist Ken Tamplin. The music had now found its own identity and sounded like a better version of the debut mcd, and this effort sold quite well in the Southeast Asia and Japan. In 1995, Bistany had to give way to the returning Ken Mary, after which Impellitteri recorded Answer to the Master, which featured a guest appearance from bassist Chuck Wright, keyboarder Mike Smith, and the backing vocalist James Christian. The album became an immediate success in Japan. Impellitteri was then expanded with keyboarder Edward Harris Roth (ex Nydia Caro/Planet 10/Cryer/Royal Court of China/Rave Up/Maltese/Brian Tarquinn) and drummer Glen Sobel. Bistany later joined Cellophane. In 1996, Mary returned as the studio drummer on Screaming Symphony, while Glen Sobel functioned as a live drummer. In 1997, Impellitteri recorded Eye of the Hurricane with help from Ken Mary instead of Sobel even though Sobel was once again a part of the following tour. The record was the strongest release to date and finally gave the band attention on the European continent. In 1999, Glen Sobel became a permanent member of Impellitteri, while Mary formed Shock Rock Remedy. In 2000, Impellitteri recorded Crunch, which experimented with progressive, groovy guitar sounds, samples, and drum loops, while the tempo in general was increased in velocity. Rock however left Impellitteri long time before the release of the record, while Graham Bonnet returned as a singer, and for the same reason the following tour was cancelled. Moreover, the album failed to sell. In 2001/2002, the band recorded System X that showed a characteristic return to the previous style, though with an evident absence of neo-classical elements. The album was met with positive response from the press and sold much better than its predecessor. However, Bonnet defected as soon as the album was finished. In 2003, the band employed vocalist Curtis Skelton (Ex Fear No Evil)..
REVIES FOR THE ALBUMS:
Impellitteri back with one of the best voices in metal Rob Rock. Eye of the Hurricane is an excellent album in the mold of riffy Dokken. This album is more diverse than the previous album Screaming Symphony and better for it. 11 songs on the regular album with some grooving tracks, an acoustic ballad and some balls out speedy metal tunes. Kingdom Fighter, Shed Your Blood and Bleed in Silence are classic songs. If you like gritty, thick riffs, absolutely shredding solos and awesome passionate vocals then you'd do good to get this album.
REVIEW FOR ALBUMS IMPELLITTERI: IMPELLITTERI:PEDAL TO THE METAL
With the recent release of 'Crunch' at the turn of this year, Chris and friends have proved that there is still a demand for heavy metal of the more traditional kind. It all began with the band's self-titled EP, originally released in '86, which has now seen the light of day for the first time in the UK, thanks to the very kind folks at Century. Though dated, and somewhat rough around the edges, this four-tracker provides an intriguing and enjoyable insight into a band that has continued to gain in popularity. Comprised of Rob Rock on vocals, Toni Silba on drums and Chris providing the riffs, 'Impellitteri' showcases some great musical moments. From the frenzied opening guitar tones of "Lost In The Rain", through to the solid, determined beats found in "I'll Be Searching", it is evident that Chris is an axeman of the highest calibre and his long standing collaboration with singer/songwriter Rob Rock has continued to provide great chemistry. 'Impellitteri' not only offers a trip down memory lane, but also a valuable milestone in the career of a talented and respected guitar player. I've got a friend who considers Impellitteri the finest metal band on the planet and though I wouldn't go that far I can see why Chris Impellitteri's slash-and-burn guitar stylings have brought them a cult following in the rock and metal worlds. As with previous Impellitteri albums, Chris' faith comes through loud and clear on songs like "Judgement Day" and "Dance With The Devil" while his song "Punk" has a go at everything from Eminem, bubble gum pop and "another rap metal whore" (wonder who he had in mind there). Throughout his surging guitar propelled by concrete solid bass and drums and those histrionic vocals keep the adrenaline pumping. Modern rock fans may find this metal feast a bit too dated for their tastes but all power to the band for surviving after mass acceptance of their particular take on hard music has moved on.And What About The Last Issui Album(WEAKED MADEN)First off, I am a huge Rob Rock fan, and the combination of Chris Impellitteri and Rob Rock has always been a killer combination for me.I only have the Impellitteri albums that has Rob Rock on vocals, so I will compare this album to Crunch.I think with all the anticipation and waiting for this album, I expected a little bit more.Although after giving this cd a 3rd and 4th listen, I am starting to enjoy it more and more. This is not a bad cd, I think Crunch is a little bit better.There is nothing new here, fast guitar riffing, soaring vocals.If you are a die hard Impellitteri fan, and you enjoy Rob Rock on vocals, then I suggest getting this cd.
REVIEW FOR THE ASTRAYED NEW DIRECTION:
My Only Complain For This christian band is that they used to be Formerly christian open lyricals.Now it all seems that the last albums have taken a new astrayed direction pleasing more the no-christian and forgotten the christianism, and God As His first sourse in the music its sad cuz they have everything,talents, profecionalism but they re going astrayed from God, In My Opinion,the more they do release A New Material The more it seems they ve gone away from God Consects,as the biblia say many started strong in God Standars and Christian Values But the richeness of this world desbanned the good Habbits,,its a shame for some kind of bands as this! hope Oneday Impellitteri they will arepent of this Big Mistake and wrong way And wrong direction they are taking away from God Rules,even Rob Rock Is Becoming more weird this guy has really A Great Talent with unique Voice But His Jumping Here and there as a man who doesn't know where he wants to stand,jumping christian music and jumping secular bands,in my opinion this is has no fruit when you have one foot in one foot out,you can't serve two lords and two Gods,OR You serve one and hates the other one,,but this is all MR.ROB ROCK,Even though i do not think MR."ROB ROCK" this guy have not the time to take the biblia and read carefully the holy scriptures to apply it as well as it has to be Mixed With music,sometime their lyrics make nosence,its Just as a little boy or else As A New Converted who is a new born in chrit Who Lack of Knowledge And Consects,At The Time he has had As A Christian He Should Have Grown The stronger christian lyrics,cuz as the time pass away and pass by we must stand stronger in God And STRONG!! In THE Knowledge of God,But His lyrics Sometime Make me Boss,Is Just AS He Grows Strong On His Career of music But he still A Child that Miss The Stronger Meat,I mean the stronger Christian Scriptures In His Life,,Anyway This IS Just My Point OF View( Impellitteri..)
