Guitar wizard, multi-instrumentalist and composer Andy Gillion is back with his third solo album, on which we can follow a knight into “Exilium” after seeing his kingdom burn. The captivating story is told with mighty Melodic Death Metal spiced up with a proggy twist and, new to the party, a powerful vocal performance featuring Andy’s strong debut behind the mic as well as Brittney Slayes of Unleash the Archers (on one track).
Built up on an epic background orchestration, the songs are pushed forward by the pummeling drums and various, hard-hitting bass lines. The star on the album is unsurprisingly the splendid guitar playing, again delivering the full palette from mind blowing riffs to playful, virtuosic soloing, leaving no wishes unfulfilled for shredding fans. Crank it up!
