Borislav Mitic returns with a majestic new album - The Absolute - and the virtuoso Shredmaster delivers his strongest musical statement to date. The idea behind this concept album was to take the instrumental guitar format and give it a new dimension infusing it with pure uncompromising metal attitude but with primary focus on song quality content. Playing-wise, Borislav takes the gloves off this time and brings into the musical arena a wide arsenal of dazzling guitar techniques.
Vertical Invader is Italian shredder Alex Masi's brilliant 1990 instrumental CD, which was not out long enough for the thousands of guitar fans who wanted a copy - thankfully, here is the Lion Music re-release in all its original fretburning glory. John Macaluso drums up a furious storm to support the wicked shred and heavy rhythms delivered by Masi, who also plays bass and keyboards on the album. Vertical Invader highlights include the hard rockin' "Rock Of Changes", the blistering opening track, "Instant Army', and the otherworldly, intense "Silver Memories".
