由吉他圣手Chris Impellitteri所领军的超级速弹金属乐队Impellitteri一直是技巧速弹派金属的代名词，原因很简单，Chris的19连音/秒吉他速弹纪录令世界上所有的吉他手汗颜，勿容置疑，Chris就是Impellitteri乐队的灵魂和标竿！Impellitteri其实就是他的个人乐队。
自乐队1998年发行的首张专辑"Stand In Line"以来，乐队已经发行了8张专辑，吉他手Chris Impellitteri在专辑中的表现就等于Yngwie Malmsteen与Steve Vai在Alcatrazz的一样，具有吉他英雄主导乐队的精神象征。除了忙于乐队事业外，Chris 还制作很多电吉他VIDEO教程，看过他的教程的朋友都知道，他快得几乎看不清他的双手到底在做什么？！他的音符就像一阵风，疯狂的速度就是他的激情！

Band formed by high-speed neo-classical guitarist Chris Impelliteri, whose style is reminiscent of Yngwie Malmsteen. He produced a self-financed album of instrumentals in 1986 and formed his own band in 1987, which consisted of former MSG and Rainbow vocalist Graham Bonnet, keyboardist Phil Wolfe, ex-Quiet Riot bassist Chuck Wright, and ex-Ted Nugent drummer Pat Torpey. This lineups only album strongly evoked Rainbows style, to the point where Rainbow fans accused Impelliteri of plagiarism. However, the band disintegrated, with Wright joining House of Lords and Torpey going to Mr. Big. Impelliteri played with former Dio keyboardist Claude Schnell and singer Mark Weisz in 1990.
