| MALTEZE
has a recognizable sound but led by Barbara Maltese, a strong
female with dynamic vocals. Features Japan's renowned rock
guitarist Masami Fujimaki (Sammy Fujimaki). Everyone does
it, but MALTEZE
denies you to do it to them!! That "it" is to
draw comparisons. You'll never hear anyone referring to
MALTEZE
in terms of clones, because there exists no band from which
they could be molded. MALTEZE,
offspring of the metal throne, is led by their fierce queen
Barbara Maltese, a captivating and dynamic performer whose
powerhouse vocal delivery blows most contemporaries right
out of the water. Her unique hard edge, gusty style and
self-assured attitude defy comparisons. So when most people
try to compare her to a female in metal or rock they find
themselves only scratching the surface of Barbara Matese's
talent, which can only be compared with the strongest and
hardest of male metal vocalist. MALTEZE
rocks hard and they rock smart. Without fail every song
consistently delivers a winning hook and clear lyrical imagery.
MALTEZE,
with their newly released album " Count Your Blessing"
has the knowledge that they will inherit the kingdom of
metal. |
Sammy
Fujimaki and Kieth Flax started band called "Mean Business"
in the late 80's before Sammy joiined Malteze and Kieth
replaced for vocal part for Panter coz' Jeff Scott Soto
(Ex-Yngwie Malmsteen) quit the band. A few years later Sammy
contacted Kieth to put together as band again so Valhalla
was basically configured by members of Panther.
From beyond the realm of heaviness a new bleed of melodic
hard rock. A classic of East meets West……VALHALLA.
Having apeeard on both coasts with such establish act as
Burning Star and Panther, Keith Flax brings a strong, unique
and melodic favor comparable to no other vocalist.
From the land of the rising sun comes guitar virtuoso Sammy
Fujimaki. Influenced by such as Ritchie Blackmore, Uli Jon
Roth and Michael Schenker, Masami combines blistering fret
work with a strong sense of melody that will soon have him
rated among the guitarist of guitar heroes. A former member
of LA's Malteze,
not to mention meny of Japan's biggest act, calling him
a seasoned pro would be an understatement.
Rounding out the band is the sonic boom of bassist Max Kobayakawa
and the thunderous best of drummer Frankie Anthony. Together,
these two provide one of the most explosive rhythm section
ever unleashed. With a live show that must be seen to be
believed, VALHALLA
is primed are ready make the leap from club to arena act.
