I posted a new video by metal shredder extraordinaire Chris Impellitteri on my las blog post.  His band, Impellitteri, has just released a new album entitled Wicked Maiden and it just might be the best album of 2009!

Just in case you missed the video, here it is again.

Yes, it is metal in all its glory!  And yes, that is Rob Rock on vocals again!  Rock and Impellitteri form an incredible writing team.  Below is the track listing:

1. Wicked Maiden
2. Last Of A Dying Breed
3. Weapons Of Mass Distortion
4. Garden Of Eden
5. The Vision
6. Eyes Of An Angel
7. Hi-Scool Revolution
8. Wonderful Life
9. Holy Man
10. The Battle Rages On

Every song on this record is pure, undiluted freakin’ metal.  Chris Impellitteri is an old school metal guitarist who brings some phenomenal chops to the record.  How in the world can this guy play guitar so fast?  Rob Rock brings his soaring vocals to the mix to create a perfect metal record. The mix is awesome.  Drums and bass are clear and not muddy.

I don’t think this album will be leaving my iPod anytime soon!

Jeff Loomis, where have you been all my life?

Jeff Loomis – why have I never heard that name?  I have been a metal fan for most of my life, and I love instrumental albums in the vein of Satriani, Vai, Johnson and Becker.  Yet I have never heard of Jeff Loomis or his band Nevermore.  I sure have missed out on some great music!

I have to give a shout out to Amazon.com’s recommendation feature.  I was browsing through some music and Amazon thought I might like Jeff Loomis’  Zero Under Phase.  Golly, were they right!

Zero Under Phase is a true heavy metal masterpiece.  Heavy, thundering guitars that rip your face right off, fat bass lines and jammin’ drums – every song on Zero Under Phase is awesome.  Don’t just take my word for it!  Listen to two tracks from the album below:
