Pedal to the Metal

The new Impelliteri release, Pedal To The Metal, is the first to feature vocalist Curtis Skelton. Guitar wizard Chris Impelliteri's band, which has been active since the mid-Eighties, was manned by US shouter Rob Rock for well over ten years and, for a short time, even fronted by former Rainbow vocalist Graham Bonnet. "At the time I thought it would be interesting to find out how a very young band sounds with an established hard rock vocalist," Chris Impelliteri recalls. "I still consider this period as our attempt to come across as a juvenile Rainbow." The new result is definitely well worth listening to. Impellitteri - featuring a line-up consisting of Chris Impellitteri (guitar), Curtis Skelton (vocals), James Amelio Pulli (Bass), and Glen Sobel (drums) have come up with ten versatile tracks on the interface between US metal and European hard rock. Impressed with Chris' production technique (he produced all the previous Impellitteri albums), CBS-Sony invited him to open it's 20th anniversary party at the 65,000 seat Tokyo Dome.
