::: ROAD TO RUIN ready with self-titled debut
album on October 26th! :::

This hot, new Swedish four piece is the brainchild
of guitarist Lars Chriss (LION'S SHARE) and bassist/ keyboard player Sampo
Axelsson (LION'S SHARE, GLENN HUGHES). "Road To Ruin" is a musical celebration
of the band's influences coming from the classic rock era and carrying
trademarks from artists such as Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, Led
Zeppelin plus - especially when it comes to the guitar sound - Black Sabbath.
The band is completed by Thomas Broman on drums (HUGHES/ TURNER, JOHN NORUM,
ELECTRIC BOYS) and one of Sweden's highest profiled singers: Matti Alfonzetti
(SKINTRADE, JAGGED EDGE), on vocals.

Dang, from the name I assumed these guys were a Ramones tribute band. Smile

I actually thought the same thing when I saw the email titled "Road to Ruin".

Go get it now! What are u waiting for!! LOL.

Excellent cd IMHO. I was so impressed by the vocals I bought a solo cd by Alfonzetti as I had never heard him sing before.

This cd was being discussed on another phorum & there were a few comparisons to Rainbow & JLT which are true. But I mentioned I was also hearing Sabbath riffing & Lars Chriss stoped by & said "I love Sabbath" & that he was huge fan of the band., Cool!

The thing that makes this cd work though are the songs. Not a bad track on there, I hope they can make a follow up cd soon.

I ordered it about a week or so ago. It will come with the Dec 1 releases from Stormy.

Not bad at all.

Reminds me at times of Axel Rudi Pell, some Rez Band, and Red Sea

Hey. i'm not familiar with some of the names and terms refered to in the reviews. I'm just seeking a simplistic illustration. And watch your language next time...
