{"product_id":"4560329803820","title":"PRYDAIN The Gates Of Aramore Japan Music CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eProduct Description\u003cbr\u003e\nA phenomenal power metal album from the unconventional American guitarist\/composer, Austin Dixon (g), teaming up with formidable collaborators such as Bob Kationis! Austin Dixon, a former member of the US melodic power metal band SONIC PROPHECY and a guitarist\/songwriter from Utah, is American but deeply influenced by European melodic power metal, heavily influenced by bands like HELLOWEEN, BLIND GUARDIAN, EDGUY, and HAMMERFALL. After leaving SONIC PROPHECY in 2015, he began creating music to fulfill his lifelong dream. His songwriting method is based on music theory he studied for four years at university. To bring his own music to life and reproduce it, he enlisted the help of Bob Kationis, a Greek multi-instrumentalist renowned for his work with FIREWIND and OUTLOUD, to create the album. Kationis not only participated on guitar and bass, but also handled the album's mixing and production! Then, as the album's vocalist, they requested the participation of the Greek super-high-pitched singer Mike Rivas (SILENT WINTER, Timo Tolkki, etc.). At Austin's strong request, Jonah Weingarten of PYRAMAZE joined on keyboards, adding wonderful orchestration that brought Austin's songs to life. Thus, the four great powerhouses came together to form PRYDAIN. The band name means \"England\" in Welsh. Austin Dixon's debut album, \"The Gates of Aramore,\" which encapsulates everything about him, also features guest guitar solos from Mikael Dahl (CRYSTAL EYES), Jimmy Hedlund (FALCONER), and Jens Ludvig (EDGUY)! They have completed a new masterpiece of American power metal! The Japanese edition includes bonus tracks! Liner notes: Lyrics and translations included, interview with Austin Dixon included!
