They say that necessity is the mother of invention. Well, AMERICAN MAFIA was born out such necessity. In 2009, the band Holy Water released "The Collected Sessions" (Perris) placing their previously unreleased, but much sought-after music in a legitimate ‘archive.’ The CD received rave reviews:

“…the band would have been household names. At their best Holy Water is THAT good.” --sleazeroxx.com

"Damn near every song here could've fit on the radio..." --Detritus e-zine

“The thing about Holy Water is that you would have sworn you’ve heard these songs before, but chances are you haven’t.” --hardrockhaven.net

"The Collected Sessions" was originally supposed to be a teaser while Holy Water got busy recording a new album featuring many of the songs they’d written over the years, but never properly recorded. But when original Holy Water vocalist David Knight sadly committed suicide in early 2014, guitarist Tom Jude (ex-Doro Pesch) and bassist Freddy Villano (ex-Quiet Riot / Widowmaker) were faced with a dilemma: abandon the project, due to the seemingly insurmountable obstacle of replacing Knight, or forge ahead. The duo opted to move forward and "The Collected Sessions" became Holy Water’s swan song, rather than teaser. In Knight’s absence, Jude and Villano decided to ditch the Holy Water moniker and enlist not one, but several, of contemporary rock music’s premier vocalists to help complete the record they’d already started. The names should be familiar to just about any hard rock aficionado: John West (Badlands/Artension/Royal Hunt), Jimmy Kunes (Cactus/Flood the Engine), Don Chaffin (VOX/Red Lamb), Mike DiMeo (Riot/Masterplan/The Lizards) and Ed Terry (Rondinelli/Rage & Beyond). All were invited to not only sing, but also write their own lyrics and melodies. They re-branded this new union of rock n’ roll rogues AMERICAN MAFIA and the result is "Rock N’ Roll Hit Machine", a collection of tunes that sounds like, ”An unreleased Foreigner record from the ‘70s with a heavier vibe,” according to Joe Romagnola from Grooveyard Records. "Rock N’ Roll Hit Machine" also features keyboards by Mike DiMeo, Jay Davidson (Cinderella) and Bob Twining (Feinstein), as well as Randy Pratt (Cactus/The Lizards) on blues harp and Patrick Klein (The Lizards) on rhythm guitar. Former Dokken/Scarecrow/Arabia and current Flavor Flav drummer Bobby Marks hammered out the drum tracks. If you’re looking for an outstanding hard rock record in which virtuosity is illuminated via stellar song craftsmanship, "Rock N’ Roll Hit Machine" is for you.
