Requested by theripper. Here is 'The Italian Rock Invasion' issued on the Dischi Noi label [#DN 0011].

Info: Italian compilation featuring 11 various bands, mostly softer rock and pop/rock. However it has some jewels to find. TOUCH OF DEVIL contributes with the killer tune "Metal Power", if you liked their demo output 'Demon Steel', you will love this song which are a fucking metal hymn! get ready for catchy riffs, awesome vocals and godly lyrics!. FIL DI FERRO contributes with their album track "Hurricanes" here in a unique version for the sampler. CROSSBONES w/the song "The Snowman" which are exclusive for the compilation! and last but not least of the heavy bands are BLACK SWAN! with the song "Metal Roads", terrific tune!!. Remeaining bands are softer pop/rock. OVERLOAD - Blue snake are worth a listen though!.
