The Chain Goes On

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 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, 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.
