\"GiuntiniAldo Guitini is a guitarist that tends to take his time when he is crafting new music. It has been over six years since part three of his Giuntini Project was released. With the assistance of Tony Martin, ex-Black Sabbath vocalist, the album doesn\u2019t seem to fall flat. The musical talent that Guitini has on guitar really leads the album. Those skills are paired quite nicely with the vocal range of Martin. The overall sound of this album undoubtedly brings Black Sabbath to mind. If finding a new sound was Guitini\u2019s goal, he slightly missed his mark. The fourth part sounds like nothing overly innovative, but it does have its high parts. <\/p>\n

The most interesting tracks that truly capture Guitini\u2019s guitar capabilities are the instrumentals on the album. \u201cThe Rise and Fall of Barry Lyndon\u201d and \u201cLast Station Nightmare\u201d are the instrumentals that express Guitini\u2019s riff mastering and composition skills. There is a relative Dio sound that can be heard throughout the album as well. Some of Guitini\u2019s influences like Edward Van Halen can be heard. There are similarities with the classic Led Zepplin sound that can be found in songs like \u201cShadow of the Stone.\u201d <\/p>\n

Multiple band comparisons can be made because with the blend of Guitini\u2019s guitar abilities and Martin\u2019s voice, the \u201980s are easily heard in this album. It is nothing original, but there is obvious talent. The \u201980s will continue to live on.
\nSongs like \u201cSaint or Sinner\u201d are catchy with a chorus that will stick with you for the entire day. Then, there are songs like \u201cBorn in the Underworld\u201d and \u201cHow the Story Ends\u201d that have an upbeat tempo that make your head bob without even noticing it. The album is not amazing in terms of the latest, fresh music, but it is recommended for those fans who enjoy a guitar player with fast fingers and a high belting vocalist. <\/p>\n
