Will probably grow on me but the Blackmore into early Yngwie lead was pretty damn bitchin'. I like the way he gives a nod to all these styles and guys.
The ending is killer. So well done with that vocal harmony on the last note. It sort of feels Dio like. I like this one more and more as well as I listen and yeah, tone was on point here though i still think he'd sound better through the Marshall and maybe with a boost/lift here or there but hey, he is squeezing Yngwie licks in there unboosted so he's working for the notes and pulling it off.
Good stuff, liked it better than the last one, and that was good as well, this is more Dio / Rainbow ish, the last one could have been off Big Game by WL.
Dig it. That Germino sounds great! If that is what he used to record this anyway. If I used that little amount of gain trying to play that, only about every third note would be audible.
