Hammering Home Guitar Fury

The duo of guitarist Peter Karys and guitarist/bassist Rich Spillberg have recorded a CD-R of nine "in your face" guitar instrumentals entitled Just A Taste. Written and arranged by Karys, the songs feature brutal guitar shred, dual-guitar interplay, rock-inspired intensity. The opener "Stealth" is ironically titled, because it doesn't sneak up on you - it pulls a full-frontal assault on your cerebrum, as both guitarists "go for the throat" and display a wealth of guitar techniques. This is some cool stuff. Karys mixes in a dose of his Greek musical heritage in a number of the pieces, but the overall effect is still a hard rock and progressive blend, with that little something extra to make it worth repeated listenings. Karys and Spillberg are both highly talented players who have used their studio time wisely. Just A Taste stands as an instrumental rock maelstrom.

Peter Karys has been playing guitar for 20 years. With both parents from Greece, he grew up listening to Greek music and fell in love with the Bouzoukis complex melodies. At age 12, Peter started playing guitar, with influences ranging from KISS and Thin Lizzy to UFO and the Scorpions. He enjoys taking his past influences and fusing in elements of blues, jazz, classical and Greek music to bring a "freshness" to the instrumental rock musical form.

The goal of Karys and Spillman is to reach a broad audience who enjoy "in your face" guitar rock.
