Dee Snider
Leave A Scar NAPALM
Glam veteran continues renaissance as born-again metal crusader.
It was once standard practice for iconic vocalists to enlist top producers and songwriters to help them find the right songs and shape a sound to suit their voice., handing over the creative reins to Hatebreed’s Jamey Jasta to produce and co-write a contemporary metal album for him, proved to be an inspired one. But while on that album he sang compositions co-written by Jasta’s Kingdom Of Sorrow bandmates Nick and Charlie Bellmore and a few well-chosen guests, for this follow-up he’s chipped in with his own lyrics and doubled down on the new-school-meets-old-metal sound, with Jasta again at the production controls and the Bellmore brothers in an agreeably fired-up engine room.
