Description
Joe Stump’s Tower of Babel - the American metal quintet who bring the finest European ingredients to their
no-nonsense rock ‘n’ roll - will release Days Of Thunder on Silver Lining Music on July 4 th .  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 10 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.
 
The likes of ‘Rules Of Silence’ and title track and first single, ‘Days Of Thunder’, propel themselves off with
typically blistering Stump riffs which shimmer with dazzling technique, Amore’s vocals helping to further
evoke the classic era of 80’s European rock, whilst songs such as ‘Sacrifice’ and ‘The Princess’ dance the
edge of speed and classic fireball rocking, the latter allowing some outrageous solos to unfold from both
Mistheria and, of course, Stump, who proudly re-establishes his pedigree as one the world’s best axesmiths.
There’s also the mysterious, hazy groove of hip-swinger ‘Alone In The Desert’, a smokey backbeat dragging
you into its soulful swagger. All in all, taking a ride with Days Of Thunder is a Jedi mind trick of vintage
sounds with ultra-fresh and vibrant sensibilities that will transport you back to the Hammersmith Odeon and
the days when unabashed heavy music talent, power, colour and flare were celebrated and venerated.
