More Info
Screaming Into The Abyss is Arizona guitarist Vince LuPone's first full-length album, and the eight heavy metal instrumental tracks and three vocal numbers absolutely scream for vengeance. LuPone rolls influences such as Joe Satriani, Dream Theater, Metallica, Steve Vai, Deep Purple and Fear Factory into his throbbingly energetic, self-produced, one-man band creations, and take note to what the folks at sevenstring.org had to say, "Screaming Into The Abyss isn't a shred album, nor a fusion album, nor a run of the mill prog guitar album - it's all of the above and a lot more. Most impressively, it never once feels like it's doing 'something different' for the sake of being different. The whole album flows from beginning to end without feeling as though you're listening to 'A prog guitarist playing a slow tune', or 'A rock guitarist playing in offtime'. Quite simply put, Vince LuPone's album is a seamless array of well written, well played and extremely versatile tracks that run the gambit between moving melodies and aggressive chaos." Well, fans of heavy axe work need to check out this baby. Instrumental Guitar, total running time, 52:34

'Electric Horrorland'
Review Featured In Neo-Zine
ild...just wild! This is a crazy, riff-happy piece of music! You got to
love it. Michael Knight must spend all of his time playing guitar and
playing video games, because he`d combined the two loves into one album of
guitar music about video games. Thats right. All of these songs are themed
for things like "Twisted Metal, Resident Evil, and Ghost Recon. If you
think that those games are exciting, wait until you hear the songs, they are
souped-up, high energy, action packed adventures. These aren`t the kind of
songs that follow all of the usual format trappings. You don`t get a
conventional "beginning-middle-end" kind of experience. No, this is more
like a solo free-for-all rampaging its way through moshing metal madness. It
turns out that much of this guitar work is improved (hell-yea!!!) That makes
these bad-boys even more impressive. When I do reviews, sometimes I like to
end the review with a "This album is like..." statement, but here we know.
This album is like the most exciting and adrenaline laced gaming experience
you ever had at 5 a.m., all loopy on expresso and Jolt Colas. Toss in a
chilli devil-dog, and I`m so there!
