IMPELLITTERI

From BNRMETAL.com
Chris Impellitteri is one of those metal guitar heroes that one might expect to find on the Shrapnel Records roster. His style has often been favorably compared to Yngwie Malmsteen, and with good reason, as both are neo-classical speed/shred guitarists of the highest order. Chris is a little less flashy (but only a little), though he's arguably a better songwriter, as his tunes tend to be less self-indulgent than Yngwie's. Impellitteri the band, plays uptempo, mainstream speed metal, the kind of stuff that is quite popular in Europe these days. A fair comparison style-wise might be Racer X, or (particularly the earlier work) a more speed-metal version of Rainbow. The basic style has scarcely altered from day one, which says alot for the vision that Chris has held to over the years. Impellitteri is hardly a contemporary/modern metal band in style terms (this style was much more in vogue in the 80's), but Chris' virtuoso playing and general professionalism keep the band fresh.
