"Judas Kiss" is an album of 20 years in the making for music veteran Kee Marcello. What has been almost a lifetime in the making has turned out to be a very solid Rock album, complete with a few growls and heavy riffage to wander into Metal's territory. Not far, but enough to give the album some teeth. Rock fans rejoice, you have someone less mainstream to enjoy on a very relatable level.

The album as a whole is a solid piece of Rock N' Roll. 13 tracks of Love, loss, road weariness, and betrayal await the listener. Dirty guitars tones, melodic bass, and groovy drum work creates a great foundation for great lyrics and Marcello's bluesy vocals. Some standout tracks are "Zombie", "Starless Sky", and "Dead Give Away" and "Forever More" features Liv Moon, who adds a new dimension to the sound, although I'm not sure her vibrato complements Marcello's vocals as well as they could.

"Coming Home" is the album's token ballad, slowing things down a bit. Not wanting to lose the pace, "Get On Top" kicks the album back in gear, and from there on out the album maintains its momentum to the bitter end. While I may not be that big of a Rock fan, I cannot deny this album is catchy, well recorded, loaded with intelligent lyrics, and all around a work to be proud of. For a rating, I would give it a 8 out of 10. British and American Rock fans alike will most assuredly find this album to their liking. Until next time, stay well, and live free!
