Revenge - Survival Instinct

From Bravewords.com:

Fuel Records has announced the signing of Italian hard rockers REVENGE. The band's new album, Survival Instinct, will be released in January.

Revenge are among the pioneers of 80s New Wave Of Italian Metal and undoubtly left a strong mark in the history of that scene. This new album, featuring ten original songs in the best tradition of classic rock, represents a sort of bridge between the raw power sound of their first EP Hotzone and the powerful melodic rock of their following works like Sweet Revenge.

Thanks to the solid production of the young and talented Italian producer Paolo Rossi, Survival Instinct is not just a summary of the past of Revenge but delivers a powerful, up to date sound not afraid of confronting the finest quality of nowadays modern rock.

The band lineup features original members Kevin Throat on guitars and vocals, Red Crotalo on guitars, Erik Lumen on drums and the newcomer Vallo on bass.

The songs featured in the album showcase the versatility of Revenge’s songwriting through ground breaking riffs ('Dead Or Alive', 'Survival Instinct' and 'Cannonball'), great melodic anthems ('Crazy Nights', 'Can’t Hold Me Down', 'Shelter') and power ballads ('Flying', 'Home Again').

In conclusion, Survival Instinct is strongly suggested for any classic rock fan looking for something deeply rooted in the best tradition of the past, yet with a modern twist and performed by a band at the top of his maturity.
