Product Description
Content Introduction George Lynch, a guitar hero who enjoys immense popularity in Japan and has been active in numerous bands such as LYNCH MOB, THE END MACHINE, and SWEET&LYNCH in recent years, has completed a new solo album two years after his previous work. His previous album, "Seamless," was the first full instrumental album in George's career of over 40 years, consisting entirely of original songs. From the sharp shredding of yesteryear that delighted guitar kids, to bluesy and melancholic, deeply flavorful phrases, and heavy, groovy, modern playing, it was a work that summarized his career and successfully received high praise from fans and the media. This album is the second full instrumental album that continues that concept, and is an ambitious work that puts forward his attitude of continuing to challenge himself without end. It is sure to impress not only fans who liked the previous work, but also George Lynch fans and a wide range of guitar fans. Regarding the release of this album, George commented: "I've always focused on creating guitar-driven music that offers something special, something outside the realm most people expect, kind of like a half-revival of the '80s Hair Shredder. I want my instrumental albums to be challenging yet not tiring, combative yet personal, not self-indulgent. And while paying homage to the masters, I don't want it to be a work that competes to be a culmination of the guitar legends that came before me. And I wanted the underlying music to be more than just a means to an end for solos, so I wanted the work itself to stand on its own." [Track Listing] 1. The Knowing 2. Psycho Beta 3. The Crucible 4.
