Axel Rudi Pell (born 27 June 1960) [2] is a German heavy metal guitarist.

Pell commenced his musical career with Steeler (1984–88) before leaving in 1988 for a solo career. [3] During this time, he has played with such drummers as Jörg Michael and Mike Terrana , and singers Charlie Huhn, [3] Johnny Gioeli of Hardline , Jeff Scott Soto , and Rob Rock . Gioeli remains the longest surviving vocalist of the band, having joined the group since 1998 on the album Oceans of Time , Gioeli's first musical appearance since the 1992 Hardline album Double Eclipse .

Pell often says his music is about a Knight in shining armour going on various adventures. Each album continues one new quest after the other, and songs are told as separate stories. Pell's main influence in guitar work has been Ritchie Blackmore from Deep Purple .

SPV Records released a live DVD on 25 February 2008, titled Live over Europe , which includes the full performance from the Rock Hard Festival in 2007, and comes with a bonus disc which includes live footage from Pell's own archive. [4] In 2012, a new Axel Rudi Pell live concert CD/DVD Live on Fire was released.

In 2013, ex- Rainbow drummer Bobby Rondinelli joined the band, replacing Mike Terrana after his initial departure in 2013. Mike Terrana wanted to pursue other projects, such as becoming a member of the supergroup The Ferrymen, featuring Rainbow singer Ronnie Romero on vocals.
Axel celebrated his 25th anniversary as a musician in 2014, headlining the Bang Your Head festival in Balignen Germany on 11 July 2014. It featured one of the original line up's singers: Jeff Scott Soto. Special guests also included Joerg Michael, Rob Rock , Ronnie Atkins , John Lawton , ex-Rainbow singer Graham Bonnett , Doogie White , keyboardist Tony Carey and drummer Vinny Appice . The show consisted of 3 acts: a short Steeler reunion and brief Axel Rudi Pell original line up reunion with Jeff Scott Soto , a full modern Axel Rudi Pell show with vocalist Johnny Gioeli and current band members, and the last act featuring various Deep Purple and Rainbow covers with a full ensemble.

In 2019, the band celebrated their 30th anniversary, releasing a double live album called XXX – 30th Anniversary Live . The songs were recorded on various dates of the Knights Call 2018 tour. The group's Facebook page stated at the time that the band did not know they were being recorded but when they heard the audio they were amazed and wanted to release it to celebrate the group's 30th Anniversary. It was released in June 2019 on CD and LP.

On 5 February 2020, they announced their latest album on their Facebook page, titled Sign of the Times, due for release on 24 April 2020. In March 2020, the band announced a delay of the release of the new record, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic , and was released on 8 May 2020 instead. A tour in support of the new album was also postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and then later delayed again until 2022. In late 2020, Pell announced his newest album Diamonds Unlocked II , which was released on 30 July 2021. It is another covers album similar to Diamonds Unlocked from 2007. Pell is well known for his extensive touring, mostly around Germany and his home town in Bochum . He rarely tours globally, but has performed a few one-off shows in London over the recent years. However, there has always been high demand to bring him to other countries. They are also famous for attending many music festivals such as being regulars at Wacken Open Air since the late 1990s.
Most recently they announced a new album of original music, called Lost XXIII , which is due for release on 15 April 2022.

After transitioning into a solo artist and releasing the strong yet somewhat derivative album “Wild Obsession”, Axel parted ways with singer Charlie Huhn and hooked up with more accomplished and passion driven singer Rob Rock and released “Nasty Reputation”, the blue print for the new and refined ARP sound that still consistently present on his latest albums despite a changing musical world and a barrage of fly by night trends.

Rob Rock’s vocal performance on here is over-the-top, as is the case with his solo work, but this has consistently worked well for him. He pulls off sleazy sounding rocking numbers like the album’s title track and “Wanted Man” with equally proficiency as he does the more vocally exposed and keyboard driven ballad “When a Blind Man cries”. Unlike Jeff Scott Soto and Johnny Gioeli, whom both tend to sound rough edged when hitting the higher notes, Rob’s voice consistently remains a husky, classically driven tenor when not going for the over-the-top banshee screeches.

As far as the overall song collection on here, we get all the key ingredients for the same winning albums of “Oceans of Time” and “Kings and Queens” which followed a while after this one. “I will survive” and “Fighting the law” are classic ARP brand speed metal, while “Open Doors” is a three part instrumental caprice put together by Axel that listens in a similar vain to the experimental stylistic devices of Black Moon Pyramid quickie “Aqua solution” and Between the Walls instrumental extravaganza “Desert Fire”. “Wanted Man” and “Firewall” are cut from the mid-tempo 80s inspired sleaze metal but with a bit more attitude, as is “Unchain the Thunder” but with a few quiet sections for melodically driven guitar work and more subdued vocals.

Highlights of this album include the remaining tracks, which were the most influential on ARP’s current sound. “When a Blind Man Cries” is the first true ARP ballad in the current definition, combining an exposed vocal performance and a serene overall atmosphere provided by the keyboards with some emotionally driven yet simple lead work. “Nasty Reputation” is cut from the mid-tempo 80s fold, but also possesses the simple riffing and rock glorifying lyrics that make for any live venue favorite.

But the one that really grabs the listener is the epic guitar driven track “Land of the Giants”, which is the blueprint for every long winded epic found on every release since its conception. Musically it bears the most similarity to “Gates of the Seven Seals” off the Oceans of Time LP, containing a similar elongated solo section with funky wah pedal work and some interesting background atmospheric devices. The part where the guitar starts riffing and the wind is blowing with the sound of water rushing up at a deserted beach draws a visual similar to a number of mythical places. The one that always appears to me when I listen is the one described in The Second Chronicles of Thomas Covenant The Unbeliever: The Wounded Land, where the party of heroes discovers the ruined Giant city of Seasearch, where they discover the mummified body of a Giant killed thousands of years ago by the Raver Turiya Kinslaughterer. It’s not quite as moving as the atmosphere achieved on “Gate of the Seven Seals”, but it comes quite close.

If you liked “Oceans of Time”, “Between the Walls”, “Masquerade Ball”, or any of the mid 90s to current day ARP releases, this album will definitely give you and enjoyable listening experience. If you are not familiar with these releases, picture a brilliant marriage of the lyrical poetry of Ronnie Dio, the music of Rainbow, Black Sabbath and Yngwie Malmsteen and you’ll get the basic idea.
