Lead guitarist of USA metallers ANIMETAL and IMPELLITTERI, Chris Impellitteri, has made the following announcement:

“I have officially been told by our management that “Animetal” will now be signed to Warner Bros. Additionally, we are going to go into the studio hopefully in early 2014 to start recording the next Animetal record. I will also be recording a new IMPELLITTERI record during this time as well – for the more serious fans of our brand of metal.
( For those of you that are unfamiliar with Animetal please use caution when judging.. ha ha! Please note, Animetal is a project that features me on guitar, Rudy Sarzo on Bass, Mike Vescera on Vocals, and Jon Dette on drums, ( The great Scott Travis from Judas Priest recorded the drums on our first Animetal Record )
For those of you that are unfamiliar with Animetal here is a quick overview. Animetal blends famous Anime themes with both original and cover versions of well known heavy metal songs. This project is a lot of fun and hopefully will continue to bring metal influences to a new generation of Anime fans and kids around the world. Here is a link I found on youtube that has one of our Animetal songs where we blend the riff of Black Sabbaths “The Mob Rules” with the famous Animation song titled “Cats EYE”. Of course most of the music features original metal riffs mixed with Anime story line lyrics, and I get to totally Shred during the guitar solo which is always a lot of fun for us guitar players!! Have a listen and then send it to your kids… ha ha!.. Cheers, Chris I”
