The new CD "Demons Dream" is packed with some of the finest and widely diverse guitar playing to come out of 2002, any year for that matter. Martone is Canada's finest export into the instrumental guitar genre. His jaw dropping technical abilities are nothing short of mind-boggling.

Martone packs a solid guitar punch utilizing influences that run the gamut from over the top shred to intricate jazz fusion, to blues, to spacey weird sonic bombast!! He covers it all with the ease and fluidity of a man totally in control of his instrument and music. One can hear solid influential nods throughout the compositions to other great guitar masters such as Vai, Beck, Satriani, and Malmsteen.

All the compositions are written with uniqueness in mind. Martone is keen on keeping the listener on their toes with plenty of twists and turns. The CD kicks off with the mind numbing Big Church, blasting out an ultra heavy rhythm that could knock down mountains. Other highlights include the very cool "What The Hell" with its acoustic flatpicking sequences combined with insane heavy riffage - not for the timid listener; and his cover of Charles Mingus's - "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat", a fusion lovers smorgasbord. Martone has a whammy pedal and he's not afraid to use it.

This entire CD will slay the masses in progressive rock/metal, jazz-fusion circles, and power shredders worldwide. Martone delves into all styles on "Demons Dream" and comes up with a masterpiece of sonic creativity.
