APPICE / JIM CREAN / SCREAM TAKER

SCREAM TAKER (Vinny Appice, Jim Crean, Steph Honde) – Kill The Beautiful (2022)

SCREAM TAKER is a brand new outfit consisting of veteran frontman Jim Crean (Appice Bros. Drum Wars), guitarist Steph Honde (Paul Di’Anno, Hollywood Monsters), and legendary drummer Vinny Appice (Dio, Black Sabbath).

The trio debut CD ”Kill The Beautiful” unleashes 11 original songs of classic hard with melody where the Dio influence is heard, but musically I found more similarity with Last In Line – the other Vinny band featuring Vivian Campbell.

APPICE / PAT TRAVERS

PAT TRAVERS & CARMINE APPICE – Superstition (2021) HQ

Classic rock / hard rock guitarist Pat Travers and drummer Carmine Appice worked together on a few albums, but for sure “Superstition” is the best of all. Recorded and originally released in 2000’s, after being out of print for some time now it has been reissued 2021.
PAT TRAVERS & CARMINE APPICE are joined by uber talented cats Chuck Wright (ex- Quiet Riot, House of Lords, Guffria) and Tony Franklin (The Firm, Blue Murder) performing on all tracks, you only can expect quality. And there’s more; TOTO’s Steve Lukather & Bobby Kimball on lead vocals participate on an Aerosmith cover, and Rick Derringer drops a hot solo on other song.
Travers revisits some of his classics (Crash & Burn, Boom Boom, Snortin Whiskey) as does Carmine with “Livin’ Alone (an old Beck, Bogart, Appice tune), some covers (Superstitious, Cream’s Politician, Last Child) and some new tunes written for this album.
Terrific stuff
