Reviews For "Holy Hell"

Rob Rocks!
by tombie on 10/16/2011

This is the third solo effort from one of the greatest vocalists out there, Rob Rock, "Holy Hell." Like the previous 2, boasts a genre of melodic metal with a touch of power. Rock doesn't shy away from the quality he portrays as an artist on this album at all. Although there are 10 songs here, I really like 9. "I'll Be Waiting for You" is a ballad, I don't really like it that well. The rest of the songs rock! If you are a Rob Rock fan then you have to have this album. If you like Impellitteri, Judas Priest Iron Maiden definitely check it out
