Helmut Lotti goes to Hell

Here's a very interesting part of Lotti's early career. This 1985 album is an Alice Cooper cover album, featuring all the songs from Alice's 1976 album "Alice Cooper goes to Hell". Alice Cooper was a big inspiration for Lotti when he was young and that's why he wanted to pay a tribute and give one of his favourite albums new clothes Lotti-style. Just listen to "I'm the Coolest" and you know instantly that Lotti is the right man to sing these songs - and the coolest!

Helmut Lotti goes Progressive Metal


The year 2015 starts off with a spectacle when maestro Lotti releases a brand new album. This full-length album consists of only two tracks - two massive epics from some of the best known progressive metal bands, Dream Theater and Symphony X. Lotti is best known of his vocal talent but this time he also wanted to show his virtuocity in playing other instruments. He decided to record all instruments by himself. The result is amazing. It is rumoured that Lotti sent promo copies for the bands he was covering and they were so shocked of Lotti's otherworldly talent that they cancelled their tours in shame, as they realized they could never play the songs as good as Lotti does!
