Axel Rudi Pell's "The Crest" is presented in as a double gatefold vinyl LP pressing including one bonus track: 'Snake Eyes' (Live). The 13th studio album from the German guitarist and his band, "The Crest" impresses with varied compositions at the interface of melodic Metal and Hard Rock.

The collaboration between Pell and his American vocalist, Johnny Gioeli, which was established some 12 years ago, has experienced yet another magic moment on "The Crest". The American's raw, charismatic voice is a perfect complement to the deeply melodic numbers by the Axel Rudi Pell band, who in turn prepare the ground perfectly for their front man, allowing him to unfold his timbre to perfection.
