The band: Andrea Lanza on guitars, Gabriele Gozzi on lead vox, Francesco Jovino on drums and Nik Mazzucconi on bass.
The story : Skill In Veins was born in 2009 when young italian guitarist Andrea Lanza "Andream" contacted worldwide known producer Alessandro Del Vecchio (Glenn Hughes, Ian Paice, Edge Of Forever, Eden's Curse, Axe, Moonstone Project) with a bunch of songs to produce. Andream spent more than a year writing music and lyrics for this album and the material was really promising so that's why they put up a stellar band ready to enter the studio and burn down the house. First choice was amazing drummer Francesco Jovino of U.D.O., Edge Of Forever and Moonstone Project fame with his partner in crime Nik Mazzucconi on the bass. With this superb rhythm section Alessandro proposed one of the new rising stars in Italy, Gabriele Gozzi (Markonee, Killer Klown). With musicians like that you cannot but expect a tremendous performance in the perfect style of bands like Badlands, Cry Of Love, Lynch Mob and Guns 'N Roses. But there's nothing nostalgic in Skill In Veins; everything shines all through the record as a classic "modern" rock record with big bluesy touches here and there, melodic choruses and thundering guitars.
The review : So what we have in our hands is another one high quality hard rock releases from Avenue Of Allies Music. After the very good Shining Line project, this is the second album that I'm reviewing from this new label. I have to admit that Skills In Vains is a big surprise for me and it grabbed me from the very first moment! Pretty good and most of all well played heavy rock with big choruses a very good lead singer (very talented) and some really great work on guitars!!!!!! All songs are full of energy, passionate performances and some wild screams from Gabriele Gozzi and a tottaly 80's early 90's U.S. heavy rock sound in the vain of Lynch Mob, Skid Row and Badlands. Well done!HeavyParadise's Rating : 8/10
