IMPELLITTERI Mainman Working On Film Scores, New Material

June 4, 2010

IMPELLITTERI mainman Chris Impellitteri has issued the following update:

"I am currently working on music for film.

"I did a demo for the 'Iron Man' movie featuring Robert Downey Jr. and became intrigued with the world of film. I got to do this amazing shredding guitar solo and had so much fun that I thought I would take some time and see how I progress in the scoring world. So, I am writing some scores that may or may not be used at some point in the future.

"Also, IMPELLITTERI are writing material for future release and waiting to go back and tour!

"Lastly, IMPELLITTERI will release a different version of 'Wicked Maiden' for the United States in early 2011. By then the economy should be improving!"

Ulterium Records released a limited-edition 12" picture-disc edition of the new IMPELLITTERI album, "Wicked Maiden", in August 2009. A deal was inked with the German label Metal Heaven that released the album in Europe in April 2009.

Issued in Japan on February 25, 2009 via Victor Entertainment, "Wicked Maiden" reunites Chris Impellitteri with longtime lead vocalist and writing collaborator Rob Rock, The band — featuring Impellitteri, Rock, bassist James Pulli and drummer Brandon Wild — "challenged the boundaries of conventional metal by utilizing music theory, technique, innovation, technology, and creative story telling," according to a press release. "The result is an intense guitar driven metal album that will satisfy the appetite of any true metal fan. 'Wicked Maiden' features memorable guitar riffs, fast shredding guitar solos, amazing screaming vocals, exciting lyrical content, and a mean heavy rhythm section."

"Wicked Maiden" took three years to complete from the writing through the mixing and mastering. Engineer and co-producer Greg Reely worked tirelessly to create a sonic freight train.
