Gutted is the nine song EP/CD from guitarist Brian Loyd, featuring heavy instrumental excursions interspersed with an occasional acoustic solo piece (title track, "Bionca Fiore"), displaying Loyd's technical ability and versatility. The overall sound on Gutted is challenging and fresh due to Loyd's use of dissonance and microtonal bends throughout his compositions. "Unto The Tribe" and "Dain Bramage" contain seductively off-kilter single-note guitar lines augmenting a corrosive rhythmic fury. Look to both "Consecrated For Ceremonies Of War" and "Running Amok" for prime examples of blistering guitar solos and demented harmonies. Assisting Loyd on Gutted were drummer Greg Gall and bassist Rich Alter. Instrumental Guitar (Electric (Heavy)/Heavy Metal/Fusion), total running time, 29:28
