One of metal's most talented
shredders, Jeff Loomis, of Nevermore fame will further prove his
undeniable skills with his first solo project, which is set for a fall
release. The ambitious offering is an all instrumental effort and is
destined to shed some much deserved spotlight on the genre's most
notable, yet unsung, guitar player.
Loomis states: "Hi everyone. I just wanted to give you all an update on
the solo project. I entered Robert Lang studios on March 22nd with
producer Neil Kernon (Nevermore) and drummer Mark Arrington. Mark
completed the drums for 10 tracks in about three and a half days. He
did some incredible drum work that I know will bring this record to a
higher level than I expected. Mark and I worked before back in 1993-94
when he played half the songs on our debut CD. Being able to do this
entire recording with Neil is really amazing as well. We've done some
great work in the past, but being able to focus on an entire
instrumental record is going to be great. Rhythm guitars will be
tracked next. I'll keep everyone informed on the progress as we track
for the next month."
