As the title indicates, Facemelter - the anticipated new recording from Y&T - is a hard rockin", song-oriented album that lives up to its name: it captures the band"s raw energy and tightness that they"ve become known for. Featuring heavy grooves, powerful guitars, and strong melodies, the band shows their versatility, delivering a range of high-energy rockers, mid-tempo head-bangers, modern rock grooves, majestic ballads, and signature Y&T rock anthems. To mark the return, the band engaged John Taylor Dismukes - the same artist who designed covers for Y&T"s classic albums Mean Streak, Black Tiger and In Rock We Trust - to create the amazing art of the new Facemelter. Face-melting is a term that has been with Y&T since the mid-"70s, when a rabid fan ran backstage and told the band, "you melted my face" which inspired the group"s first publishing company: Facemelting Music. If you haven"t yet taken Y&T"s new album for a ride, grab your leathers, strap yourself in, and prepare to have your face melted.
