Info for Days Of Thunder

Joe Stump's supreme six-string shredding skills are known throughout the rock and metal scene, both as the lead guitarist of Alcatrazz and as the shred specialist associate Professor at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, and having torn new earholes with their 2017 debut 'Lake of Fire', Stump & co take it a step further and higher with ten glorious slices of riff-driven, Rainbow/Deep Purple styled anthems. Along with the soaring vocals of Jo Amore, the tight-fist-drumming of Mark Cross, the multi-dimensional Mistheria (aka The Maestro) on keyboards, and Nic Angileri nailing down the rhythms on bass guitar, Stump has once again prevailed in bringing heavy, energetic, yet gloriously melodic music to the table with a style and panache rarely seen in 2025.

"Days of Thunder is not as lengthy a platter as Lake of Fire was, and is a tighter package overall. It also features a better cover artwork. It clocks in at a respectable 49 minutes and wastes none of the listener's time. The production (by drummer Mark Cross) is well done, and highlights each instrument well. Overall, this album is absolutely worth your time and attention if you like music of power and class influenced by RAINBOW, DEEP PURPLE, MALMSTEEN and DIO. This album was a blind buy for me! Welcome back, Joe Stump and TOWER OF BABEL!" (knac.com)
