| | Zakk Wylde Mafia CD Zakk Wylde Discography of CDs
Equally impressive are Wylde's vocals, which have evolved into a mix of musical godfather Ozzy and late Alice in Chains frontman Layne Staley. His voice works splendidly when coupled with the skull-crushing riffs and dirge-like rumble of BLS songs like the unbelievably heavy opener, "Fire It Up," and the post-grunge tour de force "What's in You." And unlike most of his hard-rocking brethren, Wylde isn't averse to in-studio tinkering. The piano accompaniment and spry, acoustic-guitar solos incorporated into the epic "Dirt on the Grave" make it an exemplary track. Topicality also plays a role in the creative process, be it the assault on corruption throughout the maelstrom of "Suicide Messiah" or the heartfelt sendoff given to Wylde's murdered friend Dimebag Darrell in the shape of the poignant "In This River."
Zakk Wylde's Artemis Records debut, MAFIA, is not only his seventh album since founding Black Label Society in 1998, but part of a solo career that's a sideline to playing guitar for Ozzy Osbourne. Wylde's workload apparently hasn't negatively affected his own sound. If anything, his playing on this sixth Black Label Society studio project is as good as it's ever been.
Personnel: Zakk Wylde (vocals, guitar, mini-Moog synthesizer, bass guitar); Nick "ET" Catanese (guitar); James LoMenzo (bass guitar); Craig Nunemacher (drums).

Around the late '90s/early 21st century, the traditional guitar solo in hard rock/heavy metal appeared to be a dying beast, as most bands were rejecting six-string leads in favor of focusing solely on detuned riffage (culminating a few years later with Metallica's sonic stinkbomb, St. Anger). But one early sign that the tide was changing was the arrival ...

So, who the **** is Alex?Alex ... is unmatchable musician and songwriter......songs are three-minute masterpieces, bridging the gaps between rock, pop, and classical music. A one-man band, he has a keen ear for melody and a true gift for orchestration, meshing pretty strings with ripping guitar lines and colorful keyboard crescendos. The songwriter owes as much to Yes and Queen as he does to composers like Tchaikovsky and Debussy, and while his songs bear these imprints, they are unmestakably his own.Rodell Records. HollywoodMeshing Soul vocal melodies with eighties style metal guitar riffs, this is an outrageously unexpected melting pot of styles. Alex hails from the former Soviet Union where he honed his skills as a guitarist, song writer and vocalist. Perhaps it is this distance from the contemporary music scene that allows him to blend styles in this completely new way, perhaps he's just a genius. The sounds sit strangely together, ...

On WAKING INTO NIGHTMARES, its second studio outing for the Century Media label, the Californian thrash-metal act Warbringer continues to reinvigorate the style pioneered by acts such as Metallica and Slayer. Metal fans may think they've stumbled into the thrash heyday of the 1980s when they hear fierce tracks such as "Senseless Reality" and "Severed Life
Warbringer are one of the most promising of the new wave of thrash bands, and on their second album, they're clearly hardened by time spent on the road, ready to crush the listener with a fresh set of high-speed riffs and machine-gun drum fills. This band plays in the old-school thrash style of Exodus and Testament, with none of the progressive intricacy that Metallica brought to the form on ...And Justice for All. Though there's definitely a Kirk Hammett influence in the guitar solos here, it's obviously derived from earlier records like Ride the Lightning and Kill 'Em All. Still, it's reductive to talk about Warbringer strictly in terms of how faithful they are to the classic style. Drummer Nic Ritter throws in extremely effective double-bass fills on "Living in a Whirlwind," as bassist Ben Bennett yanks furiously at the strings, and vocalist John Kevill is one of the best new frontmen, always keeping his (surprisingly strong) lyrics clearly comprehensible. They've expanded their range of subject matter ...
