“Actual
Events” is Tony Hernando´s strongest
album to date, 11 furious instrumentals
with a strong sense of melody and aggressive
approach. With a top production, good compositions
and a passionate playing by Tony Hernando
and one of the best drumming performances
in years by Mike Terrana, “Actual
Events” is a heavy sounding yet catchy
and interesting album.
Tony
Hernando, the Spain based guitarist is one
of the most exciting shredders in Europe
today. Tony has released 4 solo albums and
an outstanding CD/DVD, including the acclaimed
“III” and has toured with some
of the best players in business, like Andy
Timmons and Richie Kotzen. Tony is an Ibanez
and Bogner endorsee and since 2007 is also
the new guitarist for the nº1 Metal
act from Spain - Saratoga.
“Actual
Events” shows Tony Hernando´s
progressive and neoclassical side more than
ever, with an influence from the first Macalpine,
Yngwie and Cacophony records. In addition
there are some fusion and classical numbers
too, making the record strong and interesting
from start to finish. “Actual Events”
has elements that can be found on Tony’s
previous releases giving fans something
to grasp instantly and this variety of sound
is due to Tony’s wide spectrum of
musical likes and knowledge, but “Actual
Events” shows more than any other
record of his a maturity in composition.
On
drummer Mike Terrana who has played on all
Tony’s previous releases Hernando
comments, “We are good friends and
work together really well. He has said that
this is one of his best recordings in years.
I pushed him to play better than ever and
the album not only has a guitar fest through
out, but a drums fest as well”. On
the album creation Tony comments, “I
began the compositions in Jan 08, made the
demos for Mike around March and then we
went to Roland Grapow´s studios in
Slovakia for recording in April. I finished
additional tracks at my own studio after
my summer tour with Saratoga and mixed the
album in September 2008”.
