Biography
The first music album Impellitteri had the same name. The album contained many high-speed guitar solos, literally screaming vocal parts and fast rhythm parts. It was this album that laid the foundation for the band's music and further compositions. The second Victim of the System album largely echoed the band's previous release and also contained fast neo-classical metal solo parts.
In 1996, the album Screaming Symphony was recorded, and immediately after it, in 1997, the album Eye of the Hurricane . In 2000, the Crunch album was released, which became the most experimental musical release of the group, as it contained rather non-standard Impellitteri samples and drum parts.
In 2009, the album Wicked Maiden was released , well received by the fans of the group.
