reathlessly shredding his way toward the front of the new trad-metal pack, Vainglory fretman Corbin King kicks out the latest entry from Leviathan. He seems to have mastered every lick in the book: modal daredevilary, hi-octane sweep arpeggios, speed picking, unhinged improvisation. Corbin packs all this and more into eight savage minutes of "Hot Nights." Other highlights include the churning, blues-anchored Deep Purple era Blackmore tribute "Hurricane X" and "Mind Games" an insane harmonic minor scale blowout. Destination? King is already there.
