Inside the

undefined

SOTO, a new band which is the culmination of one of today s premier Rock frontmen and vocalists, Jeff Scott Soto, cast with a union of hot young musicians. The band is comprised of Jeff s most current solo band, who he insisted on making this musical merge with him. Jorge Salan (lead guitar), BJ (keys, guitars), David Z (bass) and Edu Cominato (drums). A neurotic blend of power metal, prog, groove laden huge guitars, hooks and production, SOTO is a contender in today s modern Rock arena while capturing the essence of strong songwriting simultaneously. The band s debut Inside the features a slamming blend of melody and muscle in some of the freshest power metal to surface in years. Songs like Break, The Fall, Wrath, Narcissistically Yours and Final Say are perfect vehicles of raw emotion. Songs like When I m Older, Karma s Kiss, to the title track Inside The and the 9+ minute epic End Of Days advocate a modern day reality/wake up call. Produced by Jeff Scott Soto, the album features tracks co written with his bandmates as well as his famous friends/colleagues. Collaborators include guitarists Gus G (Firewind, Ozzy), Jason Bieler (Saigon Kick), Mike Orlando (Adrenaline Mob) and Joel Hoekstra (Night Ranger/TSO), all of whom perform on their penned tracks for the album. Others appearing as guests/co writers are Casey Grillo (Kamelot), Connor Engstrom, Tony Dickinson, Leo Mancini, Hugo Mariutti and Gary Schutt. The album was recorded during the latter months of 2013 and mixed/mastered in Boston by Soto s long time engineer and friend John Ellis. The release of the album intentionally coincides with the birth date of JSS s fallen colleague and dear friend Marcel Jacob of Talisman.
