Psycho Acoustic Overture combines all the heaviness of Shrapnel Records standard neo-classical metal albums with, incredibly, a nylon-string acoustic guitar. German guitarist Bernd Steidl, in addition to being an amazing technical player, is a talented composer and arranger, augmenting his furious acoustic runs with drums and bass, harp, grand piano, and operatic female vocals. For a sample of his skill, listen to his near-unbelievable solo studies, "Irrlichter" and "Will-O-The-Wisp", as well as the stunning harp-guitar duet, "Jeux d'eau," in which he doubles the harp's arpeggios note-for-note at Pentium speed. Psycho Acoustic Overture is a one-of-a-kind, essential album for fans of neo-classical guitar music.
