Circle Of The Oath (CD)
While instantly recognizable as Axel Rudi Pell, as much for Johny Gioeli's amazing vocals as the German legend's handiwork, the music is more contemporary. Relying less on the Blues based Hard Rock of his 70s mentor (Ritchie Blackmore), there's a bouncy melody to most of the nine compositions (plus a short instrumental "The Guillotine Suite", which opens the disc, although a live cover version of Dio-era RAINBOW's "Temple Of The King" is available on the digi-pak). The title track sees Pellalone, strumming an acoustic guitar. Eventually Gioeli adds his voice and just short of three minutes, Axel plugs in, as they're joined by the rest of the band. The whole things lasts 9:20! After the quasi-experimental (or at least loosening up the strings) of the first two-thirds of the platter, the latter portion reverts to form.
