Rob Rock is melodic power metal’s ultimate journeyman. He has sung for a multitude of talented, but not hugely popular, bands over the last 25 years or so. His many acts include Impelliteri, Vice, The M.A.R.S. Project, Axel Rudi Pell, Avantasia, Warrior, Frost, Dawnrider, and countless studio sessions and other projects. The turn of the century found the artist pursuing a solo career by releasing the melodic power metal of Rage Of Creation from 2000. Following up with the same musical direction on Eyes Of Eternity three years later, Rob recorded the dark and driving sounds of Holy Hell (2005) before putting out the joining of the melodic and heavy that is Garden Of Chaos (2007). On September 27, 2008 Rob and his backing band performed on Center Stage at the ProgPower USA IX Festival in Atlanta, Georgia. The performance was recorded and filmed for this live release, appropriately entitled The Voice Of Melodic Metal – Live In Atlanta. Of note, this is the first official dvd release from Rob and in addition to featuring 11 songs from the four solo albums includes bonus material in the form of a detailed discography, live footage from European Festival 2000, a 1996 Japan promotion, New England Night Club home video footage and a Los Angeles rehearsal with Joshua from 1987. So in away its a retrospective of his solo material performed live. Yes, there is a heavy slant towards his two most recent albums, three and five songs each from Holy Hell and Garden Of Chaos respectively, but Rage Of Creation (two songs) and Eyes Of Eternity (one song) are represented as well. The set list flows with good continuity in that all the material here translates well performed live. Backing Rob is the Narnia duo of guitarist CJ Grimmark and bassist Andreas Passmark. A second guitarist, Peter Hallgren, and drummer Tracy Shell round things out and the performance is spot on even if they only performed two warm up shows in Florida prior to this gig. A fine dvd from a fine vocalist. Just listen to the final track, Im A Warrior, a real metal anthem that Rock recorded several times, with Driver, Impellitteri and also on his solo album Holy Hell.
