Call To Arms

C4
Sold through Guitar Music 9 thru 2012

Call To Arms is Michael Angelo's first all vocal CD since the guitarist was in Nitro. Vocalist Dan Lenegar delivers powerful performances on tracks that feature some of the best songs that Angelo has participated in writing. Drummer John Mrozek is a first class player as well as a great back-up singer. Call To Arms begins with the song "Gotta Run". The intro starts with a signature clean guitar riff then the vocals. Progressing from dynamically soft, the song blasts into the "Gotta Run" chorus. "Love In On Time" begins with a neoclassical guitar lead played at blinding speed then breaking down into the main lead vocals. "Basics Of The Bullet" begins with a signature bass and drum groove then explodes into a high octane guitar rhythm motif. This heavy, funky song has a great feel, is well written and again has a devastating guitar solo by Angelo. This is a strong debut from a great new band. After one listen you will be humming the songs and shaking your head as to how Angelo played so tasteful, yet ripped and didn't hold anything back.
