CD REVIEW: MOUNTAIN OF POWER - VOLUME THREE by Various Artist




MOUNTAIN OF POWER - VOLUME THREE by Various Artist
(Grooveyard Records)

The name of this  juggernaut of a project says it all, Mountain Of Power the brainchild of guitarist Janne Stark has once again delivered the goods. Assembling some of the planet's most powerful guitarist , including, Martin J. Andersen from Blindstone, Brett Ellis, Jay Jesse Johnson, Mike Onesko, former Europe guitarist, Kee Marchello, Ken Hammer from Pretty Maids and finest vocalists including, Carl Dixon of Coney Hatch, David Angstrom from Supafuzz/Black Cat Bone and Roger Solander from Dust/Lugnet. While all the vocalist featured give outstanding performances, it's guitar performances that are the highlight of this album with Martin J. Andersen, Brett Ellis and Mike Onesko giving the best performances, but really all the six string samurais featured deliver near religious shredding experiences.  All twelve tracks are supercharged and loaded for bear. Highlights include, "Give It Everything We Got", "It's A Jungle Out There", "Raging River Of Fear" and a pleasant surprise, a awesome take on an April Wine classic, "Silver Dollar" with Carl Dixon of Coney Hatch on vocals. Also closing out the album is the epic Kansas medley, "Death Of Mother Nature Suite/Child Of Innocence". talk about closing it out in a blaze of glory, WOW!  You simply cannot go wrong with this recording if you dig solid, hard-edged guitar powdered blues-rock. This set rocks so amazing it's incredible. If you were blown away with Volumes 1 and 2, then this latest installment will knock your socks off big time. Mountain Of Power Volume Three is truly a guitar player lover's wet dream. - Highly Recommended
