(Heavy Metal) Ancillotti - The Chain Goes On - 2014, MP3, 320 kbps

Italian traditional metal act Ancillotti, featuring vocalist Daniele "Bud" Ancillotti, brother Sandro on bass and son Brian on drums, will release the new album "The Chain Goes On," the band's debut full length album and first for Pure Steel Records. The album will be released on February 28th.

Does anyone remember STRANA OFFICINA, the probably most legendary 80s-Metal-band from Italy? Or the 90s-project BUD TRIBE? Those of you who liked those bands will definitely be fascinated by ANCILLOTTI. Founded by the eponymous Daniele “Bud” Ancillotti, who took on his brother Sandro as bass-player, his son Brian as drummer and Luciano “Ciano” Toscani on guitar. The first sign of life was in 2012 the four track EP “Down This Road Together”; this is now followed by the debut album “The Chain Goes On”.

The ten songs of the album are affected by very straight Heavy Metal, which reminds one of the earlier bands of the singer, but some part are arranged with more mid-tempo. This has sometimes a very special charm created by the rough but melodic vocals, but other passages are pounding in best ACCEPT-manner. The catchy choruses are exactly on the point and are made for singing/shouting along (to give a few examples: the opener “Band Your Head”, “Legacy of Rock” or “The Devil Inside”), which is brought to perfection by the penetrating double bass-drumming. This Rock’n’Roll firework show is completed by a powerful production.

ANCILLOTTI will prove to you: some long approved methods are simply the best!
