Shredguy Records gives us yet another
modern day shredder. Fortunately Tom is using real musicians, no programmed
drums and no half-assed mix, which has sometime been an issue I’ve had with
several of today’s instrumental guitar albums. Besides delivering a sonically
very pleasing album, Tom is an outstanding guitarist. He’s quite technical, yet
he has some really cool ideas and twists, which shows in songs like the
dissonant Into Another and Naked In Death. Resurrection will definitely file
under metal, yet it’s quite diverse. There’s some stuff that gave me an Ohm
(Chris Poland) vibe, while some stuff had some touches of classic metal. The
excellent Let Them Fall has a bit of both worlds with Tom laying down some
fierce melodic playing on top. He’s a got an awesome, clear tone that can cut
through glass, yet it’s full of feel and sounds very pleasing. There’s a bit of
Blues Saraceno mixed with Satriani, at the same time as I can hear a touch of
the aforementioned Chris Poland. It all melts together very nicely giving Tom a
sound of his own. In my opinion, one of the best Shredguy releases to date!
Highly recommended!
