Guitarist Andy Gillion (ex-Mors Principium Est) is back with a new single "Enter The Castle." As if Gillion himself didn't shred hard enough, he's recruited guitar destroyer Jeff Loomis (Arch Enemy, ex-Nevermore) for some extra fiery leads and drummer Samus Paulicelli (66Samus, Decrepit Birth) for maximum metal. And really, who doesn't need some video game inspired shred metal in their lives? Unless you're trying to be completely devoid of joy. Then don't hit play on this one, because it's a blast.
Gillion will release his new album Arcade Metal on September 2. The record features additional guest appearances from Yuzo Koshiro (Sonic The Hedgehog composer), Matt Heafy (Trivium, Ibaraki), Per Nilsson (Scar Symmetry), Li-sa-X, Stephen Taranto, and Paul Wardingham, as well as drums from Paulicelli throughout. Arcade Metal was co-mixed and mastered by Thomas "Plec" Johansson at The Panic Room in Sweden. Pre-orders are available here.
