Best
known as the guitarist and driving force
behind metal outfit Infinity Overture,
Danish guitar virtuoso Niels Vejlyt is about
to make his mark on the guitar instrumental
scene with his powerful solo debut ‘Sthenic’
on 16th September 2011 fully loaded with a
bonus DVD!
Already
no stranger to guitar fanatics worldwide
thanks to numerous instructional DVD’s,
books and his own online guitar school,
‘Sthenic’ is a long awaited release for
Neils Vejlyt’s legion of fans worldwide and
is also sure to attract many newcomers.
With a
sound reminiscent at times of instrumental
offerings from Jeff Loomis, John Petrucci
and Steve Vai etc, ‘Sthenic’ sees Vejlyt
serve up 8 tracks that blend intricate heavy
riffs with exciting grooves and chord
progressions over which Niels’ formidable
lead technique takes the album over the
edge!
With a
strong core backing band of Jakob Vand
(Infinity Overture) and bassist Kris
Gildenlow (ex Pain Of Salvation), Niels has
taken the live approach of a classic 3 piece
and worked from that basic premise adding
further textures and rhythm guitars to build
a strong wall of sound. This live feel to
the music manages to bring a direct sound
often lacking in ‘overdub city’ guitar
offerings and also make the album more
palatable for even the most hardened cynic.
Mixed
and mastered by the legendary Tommy Hansen (Helloween,
Jørn Lande, Circus Maximus) ‘Sthenic’ boasts
a strong and powerful production which
further enhances the listening experience
and makes this a true scorcher of a release
for guitar fans worldwide.
