\"Careful<\/p>\n

From the darkest corners of the twisted mind and imagination of guitarist John 5, comes his new masterpiece Careful With That Axe, the follow-up to 2012\u2019s critically acclaimed God Told Me To. Released digitally on August 12, 2014, through 60 Cycle Hum<\/i>, Careful With That Axe is John 5\u2019s eighth solo album and features Rodger Carter on drums and Matt Bissonette\u00a0on bass.<\/p>\n

The album\u2019s first single, entitled \u201cThis Is My Rifle,\u201d will be digitally released on June 17th, the same day pre-orders go up for Careful With That Axe at all online participants. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

As main axe wielder for Rob Zombie, John 5 obsessively keeps himself busy both on and off the road, incessantly writing, recording, filming and creating. Recorded at The Doghouse Studios in Los Angeles in between tour legs, Careful With That Axe was produced by John 5, along with Rodger Carter, and illustrates his musical growth and talents as a guitar player and composer. Carter and Bissonette are in perfect sync, masterfully laying down the musical dreamscape with technical precision. Packed with rapid-fire, machine-gun riffs and musical crescendos, all intertwined with blistering fast six string assaults and an eerie sense of melody, John 5 leads you on a macabre journey through the twisted minds of a different brand of ax wielders. With compositions such as \u201cPortrait of Sidney Sloan<\/em>,\u201d \u201cThe Dream Slayer<\/em>\u201d and \u201cFlight Of The Vulcan Kelly<\/em>,\u201d John\u2019s draws you in with lightning fast leads, completely redefining the term \u201cshredding.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not to be pigeonholed into any one particular style, Careful With That Axe also showcases John 5\u2019s talents and versatility as a guitar virtuoso and musician. From his flawless finger picking technique on the Latin flavored \u201cEl Cucuy\u201d and his fast, intricate guitar-work on the classic Jerry Reed covers \u201cJerry\u2019s Breakdown\u201d and \u201cJiffy Jam,\u201d banjo included, to anthemic \u201cSix Hundred and Sixty Six Pickers In Hell,\u201d John 5 gracefully weaves in and out of many different styles ranging from metal and rock, to bluegrass, country & western and flamenco, all harmoniously coming together for his magnum opus Careful With That Axe.<\/p>\n

John 5 hits the road with Rob Zombie this June in support of Rob Zombie\u2019s 2013 release Venomous Rat Regeneration Vendor (Zodiac Swan\/T-Boy\/UMe). Rob Zombie\u2019s first concert film The Zombie Horror Picture Show (Zodiac Swan\/T-Boy\/UMe) DVD, featuring John 5, was released May 19 on Blu-ray, DVD and longform digital video.<\/p>\n
