MORANO "Incognito" Album Review
The new hard rocking CD from Duane Morano featuring members of Tyketto, Extreme, Firehouse, XYZ, and more! They say that music is the language of the soul, and nothing could be truer for this Musician. An inspirational artist, Duane Morano has earned a reputation as a talented musician, a skillful performer, and easy to work with. From live gigs to studio sessions and more, Duane Morano continues to touch fans around the world with his distinct and enjoyable musical style.
Morano’s “Incognito” captures the sound of 80’s Metal and with blistering solos and soaring vocals. A who’s who of guest list musicians from Nita Strauss, Danny Vaughn, Pat Badger, Bill Leverty, Terry Ilous, Tony Franklin and more.
“Incognito” kicks into life with the track “After the Love” featuring Tyketto vocalist Danny Vaughn and immediately the sound of ’80s metal hits your ears and makes them tingle with excitement. The riffs are killer and the vocals, well it’s Danny Vaughn of course they are great! The opening track really sets the tone for the entire album.
‘Love is a Lie’ another stand out track featuring XYZ vocalist Terry Ilous on vocals, sounding powerful and simply brilliant.
“Don’t Believe You” has former Steel City vocalist Bryan Cole taking over vocal duties and damn if this isn’t just another great song that Morano and Cole knock right out of the park! Cole has a bit of a Michael Sweet vibe to his voice that suits this song well.
“Incognito” sounds like the glory years of 80’s metal whilst providing a sound that fans have been longing for in today’s market. The quality is outstanding and it would be a crime if this album didn’t find a huge audience.
