Elias "E.vil" Viljanen the Scandinavian guitar sensation gifted with Concord-fast fingers returns with the follow up to his successful debut album "Taking The Lead" with twelve new, all instrumental blazing hard rock tracks on The Leadstar. Lightning speed, spark flying chops, flashy moves, and supreme melodies that rise from below and expand beyond the heavens is one way to sum up Elias Viljanen's guitar work on The Leadstar. A simpler way would be kick-ass guitar with a great sense of melody. Check out his hard rock, instrumental cover of Lionel Richie's monster hit "Hello" for just one example of what he can do with a classic pop ballad melody. Elias Viljanen has been touted as Finland's answer to Joe Satriani, and his 2005 release entitled The Leadstar will appeal to both musicians and music fans in general. Instrumental Guitar (Electric (Heavy)/Hard Rock/Shred), total running time, 41:44 - Elias Viljanen @ iTunes!
