Chris Poland is probably best known for his phenomenal guitar work with several major label bands including Megadeth (Capitol Records) and his progressive metal band, Damn the Machine (A&M Records). He also released a highly acclaimed instrumental guitar record in 1990 entitled, Return to Metalopolis (Enigma Records), that thoroughly impressed critics and garnered much interest from the music-buying public to the extent that the record was reissued by Fuel 2000 Records in 1998 and in 2002 by Lion Music Europe. Chris Poland has a reputation as a true original voice on the guitar, who continues to evolve and take the instrument to new previously unattained levels both technically and inspirationally with OHM an incredible mind-blowing instrumental fusion power trio.

There is no doubt in many peoples minds that Chris Poland deserves to be placed among the greats of the genre such as, Shawn Lane, Greg Howe, Frank Gambale, and Allan Holdsworth. Poland is the real deal and more when it comes to the guitar. Gliding from unusually flowing chordings to technical oddities and inspiring leads, his incredible use of legato and tremolo bar combined with his bizarre scaling create an exotic flow of notes which somehow create order from chaos.
