"Another Excellent CD from the Shredlord, Joe Stump. These solos are played over pre-recorded backing tracks that were handed to Joe to shape into full instrumental guitar songs. And like the sonic blacksmith he is, the end product is this great CD; Brutal, relentless and faster than Superman!"

Joe Stump at his best playing totally unrestrained!!!*****++

"This instantly became my favorite JS cd as soon as I heard it(& I have them all, including the Reign of Terror stuff)! This is JS doing what he's best at, which is unrestrained improvision over some truely exellent riffage. He takes the gloves off for this & really let's it fly. It's JS, so of course the playing is techniquely flawless. However he absolutely doesn't sound like he's wandering around the guitar aimlessly. His playing is focused, thoughtful, & deliciously unpredictable! If you're one of those individuals who buys guitar cds, then whines like a girl about it being "mindless shredding", do yourself a favor & steer clear of this one, & any other JS cds for that matter."
