Impellitteri

Finland is a true metal land. So many bands came and still come from there 🤘.

I still need to pick up Venom. I'll try and get both once the holidays roll around.

Face the Enemy off of Venom is one of my all-time favourite Impellitteri tracks.

Lari - you're so right. Finland is definitely one of the top-5 "Metal" nations, and per-capita might be #1.

I love this CD!

Chris has not run out of ideas just yet. It's a fast and heavy record. So much goodies for a fan of the band, I'm not even bothered that two of the tracks are covers. I'm impressed.

My favourite songs are Gates of Hell and this song;



Just now noticed looking at that cover that there's a tombstone for each of Chris Impellitteri, Rob Rock and James Pulli with their names on their respective stones. But the fourth one only says "DRUMMER"  

The actual CD booklet cover is darker than that youtube video background, so I didn't catch this until now.

I've never heard Rob's voice this aggressive before, especially on the opening track, Hypocrisy, I love it! This album will probably make my top 10 this year.

Oh, man, that is funny. I wonder who is turning into the werewolf then?

Got it and so far, so good (so great!).

LOVE that Rob Rock has another reason to sing, and he sounds better than ever.

Just got my copy in the mail. Will give it a first spin today. Also received a couple of albums by greek power metal band Innerwish.

I'm still liking this. It's a winner. The guitar playing can make an average song sound good, but when the song is right, watch out.

I purchased 4 Impellitteri albums last weekend in Athens: Answer to the Master, Crunch, System X and Pedal to the Metal. So far, i have only had the chance to listen to Answer, and i must say this is one hell of an album .

Impellitteri Cds are very hard to find around here. The quest to complete their discography is ongoing .

One of their best. Fly Away is possibly my favourite Impellitteri song. It's just perfect.

Spinning System X this morning in the car. Excellent album with outstanding vocals.

A 25 minute bootleg concert video from this summer in Japan. Worth watching because the band is awesome, and there's a big surprise at the end:


If the suspense is too much, skip to the 20-minute mark.

I heard about Graham showing up, hadn't seen or heard it yet. Thanks for posting.

I couldn't wait, so i skipped. Great surprise!

From the Nature of the Beast CD.

Awesome AWESOME interview. You won't regret watching it. Such a likeable guy. The guy is a gem.

Great find! Thanks!

Been jamming this a few times lately. Graham Bonnet is great at metal!!

Impellitteri has done an awesome job at picking vocalists.

I just purchased Stand In Line and Grin and Bear It.

I'm now caught up on Impellitteri.

He might have the strongest start-to-finish discography of any band I can think of.

Yes, that includes the superlative Pedal to the Metal!

Here are my Impellitteri CDs:

And Rob Rock solo discs:

I am still missing a couple of Impellitteri's albums.

On the other hand, my Rob Rock collection is complete.
