Fans of Impellitteri do not despair! Rob Rock is back with an incredibly well done disc! Rage of Creation doesn't even miss a beat from his latest Impellitteri disc Crunch! You'll say Chris who?!?!
Even though Rob has escaped Impellitteri, the guitarists on this disc are outstanding! Most of the guitar work is done by Roy Z. of Halford and Bruce Dickinson solo project work. Remember Ozzy's old guitarist Jake E. Lee!? He appears on two songs and takes you for one great axe slinging ride! It's not overproduced either. Very good recording here. The thing I like best about this is that it's actually a Rock Music album and not a guitarist showing off for ten songs. Chris Impellitteri is great, this is much better in my opinion. I hate to think what will become of Chris now that Rob Rock is absent from the Impellitteri lineup. The disc is not a hard to get import, which is cool, only about $13. THIS DISC SMOKES! Narnia fans will be very happy with this purchase!
