Pedal to the Metal-JVC2004
Forget everything you thought you knew about Impellitteri. This CD is by far the best metal CD of the year, an absolute treasure in every way. The two big surprises on this CD are Curtis Skelton's vocals, and Glen Sobel's relentless, almost sociopathic drumming throughout every track. The best Impellitteri CD EVER. It is actually disgusting how good this CD is, it will never leave your CD player. Did I mention that every track is powerful, intense, unique, and breathtaking. BUY IT! ... DO IT NOW!!

SYSTEM X - JVCSystem X features a rusty sledgehammer/slightly
disgruntled Impellitteri sound. Fiery, irascible, vindictive
lyrics abound, and for good reason, the songs are responses to
many controversial, emotional subjects, from 9-11, to corrupt
justice, racism, macabre violence, and raw animalistic emotion.
Chris's solos almost seem to be musical vocalizations of
society's pent-up frustration. Warning: If you are borderline
manic-depressive or sociopathic, this CD will put you over the
edge. Graham Bonnet's vocals could saw through an iron pipe, yet
easily slice a tomato. System X is heavy, raw and primal.

CRUNCH-JVCAlong with the standard
"fastest" solos on earth, a new updated ultra-heavy
progressive sound. Of the 10 tracks slated for the cut will be an
instrumental ala
warp-speed "Black Sabbath", a spanish sounding cut, a
song called "I will fear no evil"(possibly the smash of
the album), and a high octane cut called "Beware of the
Devil". This new CD will be a TOTAL leap past anything fans
have heard up till now.

EYE OF THE HURRICANE-JVCThis new CD is perhaps their most prolific release
yet, with a tidal-wave of raw sound, musical passages, ballads,
two instrumentals, and lyrics from the heart. Features the
blistering instrumental "Race into the Light", and the
furious vocals of "Shed your Blood".

SCREAMING SYMPHONY-JVCScreaming Symphony showcases Chris' unique combination
of speed, complexity and brilliance. Features the instramental
"17th Century Chicken-Pickin'", and "Kingdom of
Light". Rob Rock's highs have never been higher, and his
unique dynamic brilliance roars thru the entire CD. This CD is so
heavy you need a crane to drop it into your CD player.

ANSWER TO THE MASTER-JVC This CD features the Japanese favorites "The
Future is Black" and "Answer to the Master". A
full pallate of neo-virtuosity backed by such tracks as
"Hungry Days", and "Somethings Wrong with the
World Today". If you looked up "Impellitteri" in
the dictionary, you would see a picture of this CD.

VICTIM OF THE SYSTEM-JVC This 5 song EP is perhaps the most diverse. Featuring a neo-classical instrumental-"Glory", a mid-tempo ballad -"Cross to bear".and the title-track -"Victim of the System". Some of the most intricate playing is heard on "Young and the Ruthless".

GRIN AND BEAR IT-JVC This was Impellitteri's first release on Victor Ent., and first with current studio drummer Ken Mary, whose countless past credits include CDs with Alice Cooper, House of Lords, and Chastain. This CD showcased a more "groove" oriented sound. Chuck Wright again plays bass. And what a cool cover huh?

IMPELLITTERI - Relativity This is the "original" Impellitteri EP. This first effort introduced the world to Chris Impellitteri's lightning-fast technique and also heralded the ongoing singer-songwriting duo of Rob Rock and Chris Impellitteri. "(the EP) was quick and raw, we didn't have a lot of time or money so we just went in and recorded--the response was great, because people could hear how live and energetic it is"-RR. The E.P. received rave reviews in such industry magazines as Guitar World and Circus. Solos on this CD don't really have an ending, they just go on and on and on! Fortunately, this EP is now re-issued as a CBS-SONY import CD.
