Bio:
Born and raised in Stockholm, Sweden Matti Alfonzetti began his musical career in his early teens playing bass in the local Hard Rock band Heavy Waters. Later on, he was a member of the bands Bam Bam Boys, Water Front, Jagged Edge, Skintrade and Boxer.In 2000 Alfonzetti’s first solo album ‘Ready’ saw the light of day – followed, two years later, by the album ‘Machine’. Following this Matti started getting into songwriting and producing and had success producing and writing for bands such as The Poodles among others. One new project emerged in 2007, Road To Ruin, including drummer Tomas Broman and Sampo Axelsson and Lars Chriss of Lion’s Share. ‘Road To Ruin’ came out the same year on Metal Heaven.Alfonzetti gets its name from Swedish musician Matti Alfonzetti, a guy who has been performing since the 1980s. Beginning with hard rock band Heavy Waters before moving onto others including Bam Bam Boys and Jagged Edge, he released his first solo album "Ready" in 2000 followed in 2002 by "Machine". He has also had success songwriting/producing bands such as The Poodles. "Here Comes The Night" (2011) marks Matti's return to solo albums.
Album:
One of the greatest rock-voices ever, Matti Alfonzetti fronted Jagged Edge for a few years in the late Eighties, then he moved home to Sweden and formed Skintrade, which in the early and mid-Nineties had great international success with songs such as “One By One”, “Sick As A Dog” and ” Soul Sister ”. Matti has previously also released solo records and written for and produced others, including The Poodles’ hit “One night of passion” and Velvet Insane’s self-titled debut.Now ALFONZETTI is releasing a new solo album titled “Shake My Blood“, where has gone back to his roots and together with Mikael Hujanen, Peter Forss, Johan Norgren, Henrik Bergqvist, Joel Sahlin and son Dante created a record that drips from classic arena rock with strong spices of blues.The songs oscillate between rockers like “Moving Like A Rolling Stone” and “Kill My Blues” to more intimate like Peter Gabriel’s cover “Diggin ‘In The Dirt” the and piano-driven soulful “Say Goodbye”, a favorite, and highlights Matti’s awesome vocal tone.The title track “Shake My Blood” is a powerhouse that brings to mind both Black Crowes as well as early Whitesnake and Deep Purple. Other highlights include the deliciously strutting “Who Do You Think You Are” and the beautiful “Sanctified” with soulful choirs and southern rock vibes.“Shake My Blood” is a strong, enjoyable and extremely well-sounding album that fits in many contexts, from sweaty bluesy melodies to rocking hooks. Add to that you have one of Sweden’s best rock singers of all time. ‘Nuff said.
