SOTO 'The Fall' Official Lyric Video from the new album 'Inside The Vertigo'

The debut album "Inside The Vertigo" - OUT January 30th 2015

Jeff Scott Soto – one of today's premier Rock frontmen and vocalists – and a union of hotshot young musicians bring you a slamming blend of melody and muscle in some of the freshest power metal to surface in years present. Together they are SOTO, and their debut album “Inside The Vertigo” will blow your mind away. The album is going to be released January 30th, 2015 on earMUSIC.
A neurotic blend of power metal, prog, groove-laden huge guitars, hooks and production, SOTO is a contender in today's modern Rock arena while capturing the essence of strong songwriting simultaneously.

Jeff explains, ''I've been in the game for a long time but my roots started more on the heavier side of the tracks, I thought it was about time I came home to visit the family and stick around for a while!''.

The band is comprised of Jeff's most current solo band, who he insisted on making this musical merge with him. Jorge Salan (lead guitar), BJ (keys, guitars), David Z (bass) and Edu Cominato (drums). Soto adds, ''These guys come from different parts of the world and bring their own influence to make this band very special. From the US to Europe to South America, we have an exciting mix of style and prestige that keeps us all on our toes''.

Jeff adds, ''The past 5 or more years have propelled me a plethora of anger and frustration, I'm actually quite pissed off about a lot of things, SOTO is my outlet to release some of this pent up emotion. We realize there are a lot of folks young and old who may be sharing these thoughts so this is especially for them too. We're not reinventing the wheel here, we're just creating an outlet for where our hearts are both musically and mentally…I’m just not in a 'touch your golden hair' mood right now!''.

Songs like “Break”, “The Fall”, “Wrath”, “Narcissistically Yours” and “Final Say” are perfect vehicles of raw emotion. Songs like “When I'm Older”, “Karma’s Kiss”, to the title track “Inside The Vertigo” and the 9+ minute epic “End Of Days” advocate a modern day reality/wake-up call.

Produced by Jeff Scott Soto, the album features tracks co-written with his bandmates as well as a of his famous friends/colleagues. Collaborators include guitarists Gus G (Firewind, Ozzy), Jason Bieler (Saigon Kick), Mike Orlando (Adrenaline Mob) and Joel Hoekstra (Night Ranger/TSO), all of whom perform on their penned tracks for the album. Others appearing as guests/co-writers are Casey Grillo (Kamelot), Connor Engstrom, Tony Dickinson, Leo Mancini, Hugo Mariutti and Gary Schutt.

The album was recorded during the latter months of 2013 and mixed/mastered in Boston by Soto's long time engineer and friend John Ellis. ''Everyone from John to my amazing co-writers to some of my bandmates, especially Edu who was extremely instrumental on helping me stay on course musically, get overall credit for creating this album. I oversaw it as a whole knowing the vision I wanted to capture but I truly had a lot of help from my bros that appear on this masterpiece!'' exclaims Soto.

The release of the album intentionally coincides with the birth date of JSS’s fallen colleague and dear friend Marcel Jacob of Talisman. RIP.

Watch out for SOTO to follow up the release of “Inside The Vertigo” with extensive touring and appearances throughout 2015.

Quite simply - this song kicks ass.  I can not wait till the album is released.

[andymetalive]

I feel a great rock sound in it! Seventies, eighties, nineties and more modern hard/heavy sound...Go ahead, your talent is great! 
E poi, bisogna essere aperti alle novità...

[MelodyDylem]

Heavy! Can't wait until 30th january!
 

[LookTwice]

This is soo good!! Love it <3 <3

[DuaneMorse]

insanely wicked words to all ..."who *Piss you off* "

[Savawings]

The words "very good" and "sounds like Nickelback" should never be uttered together.

[AntonioBetancourt]

...si...arrastra tus delirios....rock.

[chrishesenflow]

Thinking this song could be a reflection of his time in Journey and with Neil Schon.  Just speculation on my part.

[bataviababe]

Diggin' the hard-edge ... Jeff was, indeed, pissed when he created this album ...
Could you please share my favorite track off of Vertigo ... "END OF DAYS?"

[dekubutler]

imagine if he did screams like at 2:35 way back in the 80s on Yngwie Malmsteens Marching Out record

[giorgosantimatter]

when soto was singing, nickelback were at the womb of their mother..

[AussieRockChic]

Great album what I have heard on Spotify... Trying to get my hands on it, as not released in Australia.  Any aussies into JSS?   Come downunder Soto!

[marksundermeier]

"Oh yeah Nickleback will never whoa oooohhh"

[dekubutler]

is this the dude from Yngwies old band

[rainbowwarriors]

It reminds me of nickel back and Lil of ffdp lift me up....

[markwilliams]

You do realize Jeff was out more than a dozen years before nickelback ever played in a band right? I believe that is Gus G on guitar, so compare all you like. But nickelback couldn't sing or play any of this.

[starec]

The last album Nickelback was wrong. This will hopefully be much better.

[danachappell]

Hopefully this will grow on me, but a bit disappointing. It sounds less like the AOR/MHR he's always done and more like he's aiming for the American radio market.

[marcosartori]

Jeff sono un tuo grandissimo fan ma questa nuova direzione spinta verso un sound troppo moderno proprio non mi convince.Beati i tempi che cantavi per Axel, Kuni, Talisman, Takara, Malmsteen, soprattutto il 1o W.E.T. adesso non ci siamo proprio

[blacksleaze]

This is not fuckin Nickelback!!! It's much better, dudes and dudettes ;)
