Since his first days in STEELER AXEL RUDI PELL has been high in the ranks of the world of music. In 1989 he started his solo career and has since played with the likes of Charlie Huhn, Rob Rock, Jeff Scott Soto, J\u00f6rg Michael, Mike Terrana and Johnny Gioeli. Today Axel\u00b4s band consists of Johnny Gioelli on vocals (HARDLINE), Ferdy Doernberg (HELLOWEEN, THERION), Volker Krawczak (STEELER), and the long-serving Mike Terrana (MASTERPLAN, RAGE). Axel has been successful with his many \u201cThe Ballads albums\u201d, with the fourth appearing in 2011, and all in all this is his fourteenth album! <\/p>\n
The amount of sheer routine sees AXEL RUDI PELL deliver yet another album of mostly above average catchy yet heavy tunes. \u201cGhost in the Black\u201d would suite RUNNING WILD, the title track has more than a slight touch of LED ZEPPELIN, or possibly BLUE MURDER, while the opening part of \u201cLived Our Lives before\u201d reminisces of RAINBOW\u00b4s \u201cTemple of the King\u201d. More of the same is probably the best way to describe a lot of songs on offer here, and in this case it\u00b4s hardly ever wrong. Record sales and massive touring don\u00b4t lie. What is not so much more of the same is the ambitious closing track \u201cWorld of Confusion (The Masquerade Ball Pt. II)\u201d, which clocks in at 09.30. I\u00b4d say this album has a lot to offer for most rather traditional metal heads. The classic touch, the German feeling and the appealing cover\u2026 can\u00b4t go wrong here. <\/p>\n
