Album Review

If a few breaks had come his way, David "Rock" Feinstein would have left his mark on the heavy metal masses a long time ago. As the leader of local New York rockers the Rods, Feinstein supplied vocals and guitar work to quite a few cult classic albums throughout the '80s. Not to mention a little-known fact: Feinstein's cousin was none other than Ronnie James Dio, and the two played together while both were members of Elf. And in 2010, Feinstein got around to issuing quite possibly his best solo effort yet, Bitten by the Beast. His roots with Dio continued to run deep up until the end (Dio passed away a few months before the release of Bitten by the Beast), as the album was one of the first to be released on Dio's newly formed label, Niji Entertainment, and even features a track with none other than Dio himself on vocals, the anthemic "Metal Will Never Die." Perhaps unsurprisingly, Bitten by the Beast leans heavily on '80s metal sounds, including the NWOBHM/Motörhead-esque album opener, "Smoke on the Horizon," as well as "Evil in Me," "Kill the Demon," and a tune that was co-written by Feinstein and Dio, the album-closing "Gambler Gambler." From beginning to end, Bitten by the Beast is an inspired piece of vintage metal, and will certainly be of interest to metalheads, as it contains one of the last-ever recorded vocals of the great Ronnie James Dio.

Customer Reviews

One of Dio's greatest unknown performances

This album as a whole is amazing, but the Dio song just stands out as the finest track on here. It is catchy, radiates passion like a sun, and will make a tear fall from any fan of the great man. This album is worth the price, and should be listened to until the computer starts skipping like a little schoolgirl.

Great CD and a song that is a legacy from a legend

This CD is an excellent offering from Rock Feinstein. The songs have a driving rock, vintage 80's American Metal feel to them. The song by Rock's cousin (and former Elf bandmate) Ronnie James Dio is a real bonus, and is now what I would definitely consider to be a legacy from a legend. My favorite tracks on this CD are Break Down The Walls, Evil In Me, Smoke On The Horizon, and (of course) Metal Will Never Die - a song with an appropriate title for one of the last songs ever recorded from the heavy metal great. On this track Dio's words reassure us that although HE was the icon, "WE" are metal and together we can keep the harder-edged rock genre alive. Go forward, with horns up!

Dont get me wrong

I love this album, both fierstein and of course Dio are greats. but im getting sick of itunes pulling this asinine "to get one song buy whole album" garbage.
