Swedish rock icon Matti Alfonzetti returns with “Going for the Kill”, a dynamic melodic rock album that seamlessly blends classic influences with a modern edge. Best known for his soulful voice, powerful delivery, and songwriting prowess, Alfonzetti once again proves why he’s considered one of Scandinavia’s most enduring and respected rock vocalists.
 
“Going for the Kill” is a tour de force of contemporary AOR and hard-edged melodic rock, taking cues from genre masters such as Foreigner, FM, Def Leppard, Bryan Adams and Alias, while injecting fresh energy and production polish. From the soaring hooks to the crisp arrangements, the album is a showcase of melodic craft and passionate performance.
 
On the recordings, Matti Alfonzetti not only takes care of lead and backing vocals but also handles bass, rhythm guitars, and keyboards, underlining his multi-instrumental talent and personal investment in the project. The line-up of musicians on the album also includes:
Dante Alfonzetti – Bass on “Going for the Kill” and “When The Gods Play Rock n' Roll”
Staffan Brodén – Drums
Martin Jepsen Andersen – Lead Guitar
 
With a career spanning over four decades, Matti first made waves in the '80s with Bam Bam Boys and went on to front acclaimed acts such as Jagged Edge (UK) and Skintrade, before embarking on a successful solo journey with albums like “Ready” and “Machine”. He’s also been a key part of projects like Impera, Red White & Blues, and Road to Ruin, earning a reputation as both a consummate performer and a highly skilled producer and songwriter.
 
“Going for the Kill” is not just a return — it’s a reaffirmation. A statement album by an artist at the height of his creative powers, it’s essential listening for fans of melodic rock, both classic and contemporary.
