2001: A Shred Odyssey

Joe Stump has just instigated another nuclear musical event with the release of his fifth instrumental CD, 2001: A Shred Odyssey, a collection of new, live and former bonus tracks. The CD opens with an amazing guitar solo - a one take shred masterpiece that should have every guitarist in the world in awe. Two other solo guitar pieces ("Nocturne", "Partita #1 In A Minor) showcase more of Stump's unparalleled playing style that encompasses technical fire, melody and chops. The three ending live tracks were all recorded on Stump's most recent instrumental tour of the U.S. "Psycho Shred Suite", in particular, is the most difficult piece of music to play that Stump has ever written. Each and every listen of 2001: A Shred Odyssey will bring new and exciting parts to the forefront of the musical picture this guitarist has created with his advanced compositional vision. An intense musician's dream come true - and a high placement in the Shred Hall of Fame.
