ALBUM REVIEWS
The use of such soundbites, together with the album’s dark industrial aesthetic and virtuoso fretboard widdlings is kind of like Steve Vai meets G.G.F.H.

As bizarre and unlikely as that fusion of styles sounds, it actually works a treat, and the 38 minute playing time seems to pass by very quickly. For people who like both horror movies and virtuosic guitar playing, this is probably the perfect album for you. Go buy it now! 9/10
…what we find is the 21st century guitar virtuoso experimenting with fresh approaches, a new language, and an innovative sound. His newly found methods can now be added to his pro-size portfolio of skills he’s been building ever since he’s decided he wanted to be known for being able to do it all. And with each album we see John 5 getting closer to his goal. This time he lets us know that he can now marry rock guitar and electronica the way he could always marry goth chic with superhuman instrumental craft.
