ean Cascione is an American pupil of Metal God Joe Stump! This guy decided to
release an instrumental CD and I promise you it wasn't at all a bad idea. If
you're into neoclassical shredding guitars with either electric and acoustic
parts then you should hold your attention to this review.
Along with some other fantastic musicians ''Guitar Chop Shop'' was recorded. If
you're a fan of this kind of shredders then you should remember this name
forever. The best shredders, to me, are recognizable in their acoustic works and
when I hear the amazing 'Brother' then I suppose this man is a new Metal God. In
the harder, heavier songs you will easily hear this is an American guy. Although
no vocals are added the music sounds so typical 'US'! The production could have
been heavier and more powerful but nevertheless the screaming and fast fingered
solos will convince you. As a matter of fact this kind of Metal is asking for a
vocalist, in that case I would compare this 'project' with Cauldron Born or
Chastain! Some of these acoustic parts are also reminding me to the very first
Yngwie Malmsteen albums and the acoustic Michael Schenker works.
The very last song, a bonus-track by the way, is foreseen with vocals! The singer
is a man called Gabriel Langelier who owns a fantastic clear voice. You'll be
surprised by the strength and the beauty of his voice! It only proves Dean
Cascione needs to start a real band, inclusive this man with his golden timbre.
Although Gabriel Langelier was forced to sing on calm music I'm sure the heavier
works will fit him too. We can only hope we will hear him scream loud with these
musicians in the future.
Don't hesitate to check this CD out. Although it is once again another instrumental
release there's something awesome lying in this womb. My Points: 83/100.
