PATRIZIA
Defiance (United One)

Reviewed by John Sekerka



Hot diggidy dog, ya just gotta love these genre clashes. Patrizia (no last names please, we are talking diva here) is a full blown four octave opera stud, and she's taking her glass-breaking gift to the land of the rock. Hard rock. Thundering power trio guitar wank prog rock. Patrizia soars with Bizet's "Temptation". She's breathtaking on Puccini's "Desperation". Mozart's "Fury" must be heard to be believed. Hear this woman roar! And best of all this thing rocks. Rocks with gnarly guitar licks and thundering drumming. Defiance, you will all surely agree, makes all subsequent stabs at music by mere mortals obsolete.
