The Review:

Doug Doppler, the mastermind behind new band Doppler, Inc is ready to take the world by storm. Combine elements of old school shredding with the nu-metal sound on their debut Nu-Instrumetal He has some special guests on the album to in the form of Night Ranger/Ozzy Osbourne lead guitarist Brad Gillis, bass icons, Billy Sheehan and Stu Hamm.

According to the website Doug’s goal with Doppler, Inc is to help bridge a gap musically between old school and the nu-metal acts of today. At first, I was thinking this is going to be a novelty act but after listening to it several times over the past few months, it’s going to be a keeper with return visitis to any one of my cd players.

One of the standout tracks that gets replayed many times on my player is "Wicked", which has a very infectious metallic groove to it and add to it the use of a Vocoder was used to get the sci-fiish alien voice on it.

This is something for rock fans across the spectrum from progressive to the nu-metal sound. All will enjoy what Doppler, Inc has to offer on their debut, Nu-Instrumetal.
