 Armand and Vio7 Rock. And yet, there's something different about the way this rocks. Sure, Armand plays a 7 String Violin that not only mimics, but surpasses the ability of an electric guitar in range and capability, but there's something else. Something you FEEL as you LISTEN. Listen long enough and you'll discover that the key is in the fact that you're not only listening to rock, but rock played by a true master musician.

Certainly there is an abundance of talented and innovative musicians out there, and Armand sets himself apart in how he has adapted his skills as a highly trained Violinist and applied them to an instrument that he himself has created. Before Vio7, there was no 7 String Electric Rock Violin. And although there have been Violinists that have covered rock and metal songs, there have been none to date that manage to pull off the level of pure musicianship that Armand and his Band put into Vio7. That's not an opinion as much as simple fact. One needs only to look at Armand's Bio to truly understand what we're dealing with here : A classically trained rocker that has decided to shake the very foundation of the rock music industry.

Vio-Voice sets the tone for a CD that is as powerful as it is groundbreaking. From the first to last note, you can't help but listen in amazement as you repeat " Damn. That's a freakin' VIOLIN ! " over and over. This tune rocks hard and sets you up for a Day from Hell.

Day from Hell grabs you and takes you for a ride ! What stands out here is that you KNOW that Armand can wail musically, but he also knows when to keep it simple, hard and heavy. After a Day from Hell, you're more than ready for a Fantasy.

Fantasy rocks. Undoubtedly. But oh man, you've GOT to listen to how this rocks. As improbable as it seems, Armand and Vio7 have managed to make a hard rocker sound beautiful. I mean, come on, this tune is LOADED with awesome musicianship that leaves you thinking that you've only just begun.

Enter Vio is reminiscent of a number of great classic leads or solos combined and showcases the true extent of the 7 String Electric Rock Violin. This is when it hits you that Armand and Vio7 aren't a novelty. or a gimmick, but that this Band is here to stay and in the beginning of what will set a new standard in rock and metal.

New Beginning, Allegro, and Red Clown round off this exceptionally awesome CD, and you've really got to check out each of the sings carefully to appreciate what's being done here. For more great tunes, go to the Official Vio7 MySpace (link below) and check out the American National Anthem (WHOA!) and Tsunami (WOW!).

Armand and Vio7 are great musicians and fantastic rockers, but it's the music that speaks for itself. You really can't describe this. Listening to Vio7 is an experience. A feeling. And once you've experienced the feeling, rock will never be the same again.
