ANGEL (Gregg Giuffria) - Helluva Band [Rock Candy remaster] (2012)

*

ANGEL's second album "Helluva Band" was a record that took their brand of adventurous Pomp rock to astonishing levels.
Unafraid of throwing everything and the kitchen sink into their music, they reached a new level of achievement which allowed every member of the band to excel at their craft.

Singer Frank DiMino in particular, unleashes one of the definitive vocal performances of the era, an ostentatious operatic style that thrilled audiences back then and still continues to make its mark to this day, superbly complemented by the dexterous keyboard virtuosity of Gregg Giuffria.
Some say that this is Giuffria's finest hour.
Again produced by Englishmen Derek Lawrence (Deep Purple, Wishbone Ash) and session guitarist extraordinaire Big Jim Sullivan in Los Angeles, the album contains a clutch of 24 Karat showstoppers, including the epic "Feelings", "Mirrors", "Pressure Point" and "The Fortune", a progressive pomp-rock watershed with all the trimmings you might reasonably expect from such a genre defining band.

"Helluva Band" is the 2nd Angel's essential reissue by Rock Candy, with the usual 24-bit remastering from original source tapes and enhanced artwork.
Pomp rules.
