Renowned Guitarist Marty Friedman releases music video for Inferno off forthcoming album

April 23, 2014

    Renowned guitarist Marty Friedman has released a music video for the title track, Inferno which is off his highly anticipated forthcoming album. The album is set to release in North America on May 27th. The concept for the video was inspired by a television show in Japan and is where Marty resides. Marty explains more about the video, “The music video for ‘Inferno’ is an homage/parody of one of my fave Japanese TV shows, ‘Zenryokusaka‘ (‘Full Power Hill’). It’s a weekly five-minute show where the entire premise is absolutely nothing but a girl running up a hill. Each week a different girl, and a different hill. I am hooked on this show, and think it is genius in its simplicity and ever-so-slight sexual nature. It took me a while to explain the charm of the show to the video director, but I think towards the end of making our video together, he got it. It’s like many things that happen outside the culture you were born in; you either get it and it’s fresh [Read More]

Catch Black Oxygen out on their “Beating Time” USA/Canada Tour

April 20, 2014

Last year I told you about my first experience with Black Oxygen. From the moment I heard them, I was HOOKED! Here is an excerpt from that previous post: “It is Monday night and are you ready to get hooked on an KILLER Rock Band??? Sit back, relax and breathe  in the fresh new life of Black Oxygen!  Holy Shit, these guys are amazing. They have a sound that is definitely of their own and it reminds me of a blend of Stone Temple Pilots and Puddle of Mudd. Founder David Lyle not only is an amazing singer/songwriter but also the lead guitarist. Then you have bad ass Jordan Myer on bass and solid drumming by David’s younger brother Nick Lyle. These three guys create a powerful trio that has a big sound that will have you take notice.”   Black Oxygen is set to release another album, “Beating Time” which will be out on May 6th. You can pre-order the album here. I can’t wait for the it since their last album, “The American Dream” [Read More]
