The album begins with "Red", with powerful guitars, rhythmic bass & drums
and crystal-clear vocals. Only 15 seconds in, and the headbanging has already begun! (laughs!!)
The second track coming up is "Take Me High", which will mesmerize you with its rhythm.
It has a strange, yet beautiful hard rock rhythm that you'll fall in love with!
These two tracks provide an excellent start for the album!
"Navigation", "Rock the Cradle" and "Gates of Time"
continue the album in the same quality footsteps, with the third one,
the ballad of the album, winning the "battle" among them.
The album continues with "I Got This Feeling", a track that will win you over
from the very first notes, because of its splendid guitars and crystal-clear
vocals! Ending the album powerfully and rhythmically are "In My Blood",
"Running from the Shadow", "Speed" and "Fright", with the last one winning
the "battle" due to its rhythm!
Conclusion? Dario Mollo and the gang have released a trully powerful album with amazing sound,
excellent guitars and incredible vocals. These are some high quality track compositions.
This album sets an example on how to make powerful hard rock music. Excellent.
Buy it immediately!
Best known for his partnerships in the The Cage with Tony Martin (ex-Black Sabbath) and Voodoo Hill
with Glenn Hughes (Black Country Communion, Deep Purple, California Breed), Italian guitarist Dario Mollo
began his career in 1981 with the band Crossbones.
With them, he released his first studio album in 1989, which was produced by Kit Woolven (Thin Lizzy, Magnum, and UFO,
among others) before getting involved in the production side of things himself.
“This new project, "CrossBones" was created with the intent to pay homage to the band from where it all started,"
says Dario.
For the occasion, he brought back the drummer of the original lineup, Ezio Secomandi together with his regular
collaborator Dario Patti on bass and keyboards.
The choice for the singer is Carl Sentance (Nazareth, Don Airey Band, Persian Risk, Krokus),
who came at the suggestion of Don Airey of Deep Purple, during a recent visit to Dario’s home.
“This album includes the best of all the experience I gathered in my career in music and in artistic production,”
concludes Dario.
The quality of the material he recorded is witness to that.
