Vinnie Vincent Invasion was a heavy metal band formed in 1984 by former KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent.
Vinnie Vincent Invasion's "All Systems Go" is a monumental heavy metal album that showcases the incredible talent and songwriting prowess of the band's members. Released in 1988, the album was produced by Dana Strum and Vinnie Vincent, with a lineup consisting of Mark Slaughter on vocals, Vinnie Vincent on guitars and backing vocals, Dana Strum on bass and backing vocals, and Bobby Rock on drums. The album's twelve tracks take the listener on a high-energy journey through hard-hitting riffs, melodic hooks, and powerful vocals.
The album kicks off with "Ashes to Ashes", a hard-hitting track that sets the tone for what's to come.
