Heavy Metallized Hard Rock combo with Graham Bonnet on vocals and Yngwie Malmsteen on guitar was short lived but left a few albums, like this first one "No parole from Rock 'n' Roll", quite an interesting exercise of proto baroque metal. You can hear lots of Malmsteen's classical influences, but here those fit the feel of the album very naturally. Graham Bonnet's approach to vocals is also unique. Great album with no filler.

"baroque metal" - ha ha ha

ok - anyway, this is pretty decent heavy metal fare for the time - with Malmsteen utilizing all his tricks he's copied from Ritchie Blackmore, and others ... one of the most competent imitators in 5th-generation hard rock

Bonnet would move on to better things in the Michael Schenker Group "Assault Attack" while making an oil-and-water appearance on one somewhat lacklustre Rainbow album "Down to Earth"

Scion7777, everyone can recognize Malmsteen's playing by ear, he has unique sound and vocabulary. IMHO, though he certainly was inspired by Blackmore, Hendrix, etc, he is not an imitator but a disciple who evolved further then his predecessors in his own direction. That's how all good artists do.
