Colour Journey is the phenomenal second solo album from Sun Caged guitarist Marcel Coenen. Colour Journey will take the listener on a voyage through many musical landscapes that will captivate its audience. Unlike Marcel’s debut solo instrumental album ‘Guitartalk’, ‘Colour Journey’ features a range of vocalist who has each put their own stamp on their respective tracks. ‘Colour Journey’ is an album to suit many moods and please fans old and new.

On the music Marcel comments:
The music is very diverse; I tried to make an album which showed my song writing skills more then my guitar playing skills. Of course there are songs where I shred (New Race) but mainly the songs are catchy and easy to listen to. "Waiting" is a more power metal orientated song with Mike Andersson from Cloudscape on vocals. "Abstract Impact" is more of a Satriani like grooving song, and is the first instrumental. "Patron Saint" is a prog metal song, sort of in the style of my band Sun Caged. It also features the drummer, keyboard player and singer of Sun Caged. "La Bella Mira" is an instrumental ballad and is dedicated to my girlfriend; A beautiful song with long passionate notes. "Traumatized To The Bone" is the heaviest song on the record, and even features Death Grunts. There are 4 different singers in this song ranging from a female voice to death metal vox.

"Skill Factor" is an instrumental fusion track, which also has a bass and drum solo, a very groovy and funky track with jazzy elements. "That Moment" is another ballad-ish song, with a high POP music groove. The song has been sung by Colleen Gray, a great female singer from the USA. "The Shrink" is the only song from the album I have not written myself but is written by Hans In T Zandt and a guitarist he met while he was in the USA. This guitarist also plays a guest solo in the song, and I re-arranged the song and played all guitars and keys. "V(erbal) D(efense) M(echanism) brings back memories to bands like Alice In Chains and Soundgarden while "New Race" rocks your socks off, being a true 80's metal song with high shredding guitars. The last song on the album "Still Bleeding" is a very atmospheric song with female vocals, being a more gothic alike song with sympho elements.
