BLACK SABBATH and solo vocalist TONY MARTIN are not new to each other. As the title states this is their third mutual effort, tailing on successes like the first and third cage. The first was releases in 1999 and their second mutual cage arrived at the scene in 2002. Now they return, ten years later. I hope that they can repeat their previous outings and that time has not left them behind.<\/p>\n<p>Opener and video track \u201cWicked World\u201d is definitely on the gloomy side. The refrain is clear and very present but the result is an ok opener, merely. But when they change gear into \u201cCirque du Freak\u201d the DIO grooves ensues, the refrain really rocks and the keyboard pattern by Dario Patti, or Brian War, the info states both without explanation,  is in exactly the right places. The album echoes of the duos ventures into classic rock, Dario\u00b4s been involved with both GRAHAM BONNET and GLENN HUGHES, and Tony needs no further explanation. So I guess the opener might be as depressed as any old rocker on record these day, while the rest is more of a return to form. The blues says hello in a track like \u201cCan\u00b4t Stay Here\u201d and the seventies get their share in album closer \u201cViolet Moon\u201d. But it\u00b4s the many strong refrains and the flirts with bands like DIO and RAINBOW that earns them the mark. This is nowhere near Tony\u00b4s dire solo album \u201cScream\u201d so I\u00b4ll recommend this to any one into classic hard rock.<\/p>\n<p>Track List<br \/>\nWicked World<br \/>\nCirque du Freak<br \/>\nOh My Soul<br \/>\nOne of the Few<br \/>\nStill in Love with You<br \/>\nCan\u00b4t Stay Here<br \/>\nWardance<br \/>\nDon\u00b4t Know What It Is About You<br \/>\nBlind Fury<br \/>\nViolet Moon<\/p>\n<p>www.frontiers.it www.myspace.com\/dariomollo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frontiers\/BAM Italian guitarist\/producer Dario Mollo and ex.
