Impellitteri have released a new video, for the Venom album track “Face The Enemy”. The band creates one of the heaviest and most haunting riffs of their career with this new song. It was recorded at NRG studios where Slash, Linkin Park, and Lamb of God have recently recorded.

Chris Impellitteri states, “NRG had such an amazing vibe that allowed us to really capture the live power of our band. Drummer Jon Dette is such an animal on our new release Venom, out now via Frontier Music Srl! Bassist James Pulli has really matured into one of the greatest rock bassist I have had the pleasure to play with! Vocalist Rob Rock still has to be one of the most underrated vocalists in the metal community! And me, oh Hell, I am still masturbating on my guitar 30 years later, riffing and shredding and having the time of my life! I love playing guitar!”

Chris Impellitteri is heralded as one of the world’s greatest guitar shredders. He has won Best Rock Guitarist Awards on several magazines during the years for his guitar soloing. He is the first guitarist to be branded as the fastest guitarist in the world by the international media. Recently and without any promotion, Impellitteri was officially voted second fastest guitarist in the world by “Guitar One” magazine; and “Guitar World” magazine recently listed Chris Impellitteri within their top 50 fastest guitarists of all time.

Chris Impellitteri formed Impellitteri in 1987, together with Rob Rock as vocalist. That year, they released an EP called the Black Album which was well-received, and Impellitteri went on to release the full-length album Stand In Line in 1988. As of today Impellitteri have released a total of nine acclaimed studio albums and the new record, Venom, follows after 2009’s Wicked Maiden.

During the writing and recording of Venom, the band pushed the limitations of their artistic abilities in both performance and composition. All musical areas and ideas were explored with only the best recorded.
