Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

IMPELLITTERI is set to release his career spanning box set “The Complete Beast” on Global Rock/Cherry Red Records October 6^th 2023 – Pre Orders open now!

When legendary guitar shredders are mentioned, it doesn’t take long for Chris Impellitteri’s name to come up, spoken of in the same breath as legends like Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert and Steve Vai.

Superstars in Japan and with international sales of over 2 million records, Impellitteri the band were inducted into the 2023 Metal Hall Of Fame.

This lavish 6 Cd box, brings together, for the first time outside of Japan, every Impellitteri album and EP release between the bands debut in 1987 until 2009’s Wicked Maiden. Also included are numerous bonus tracks and outtakes.

Making for a mammoth career spanning set that is an essential purchase for not just Impellitteri fans, but for fans of melodic Heavy Metal in general and featuring Vocalists Graham Bonnet & Rob Rock.

Rob Rock adds:

“From the Impellitteri Black EP to the Wicked Maiden CD, this collection brings back a flood of awesome memories of the intense rock and roll that was inflicted upon the world from the blistering guitar work of Chris Impellitteri and the intense vocals of Rob Rock and Graham Bonnet, James Pulli on bass, and several world renown drummers.

Each CD marks an era in my mind and heart because we put all that we had into our recordings, and you can hear the development and direction of the band as we journey through these CDs and EPs, listening to the songs and albums once again.

This collection is one that the fans of the band will truly enjoy, and the ones that wanted them but couldn’t find the CDs locally, can finally get them more easily worldwide. Now it’s time to discover the music that Japan/Asia has cherished for decades – Impellitteri!”
