The "artist of the month" can be a band or single musician, and it's all decided by me - Mostly I'm just going to be posting bands and artists that I feel are good enough to be recognized - people I think you guys should all listen to. I'm going to make a nice little profile for each "Arist of the Month" - so be sure to click on their names. Also, I would definatley not give you a band or musician without giving you some way of hearing them - whether they are featured on a website or what have you. If you have someone you think I should feature, feel free to send them! I'm always up for hearing new bands

He's got a beautiful style that is reminiscent of Steve Vai and Joe Satriani. He's been playing since he was sixteen, and currently working solo. HIs music is wonderful, and I suggest you all stop what you are doing right now and click on the links I have provided!! Plan on buying his EP whenever it becomes available, I know I will!

I especially like his song, Soarin' high. It's absolutley amazing!

If you like Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, or any of the other amazing solo artists, you'll definatley like this guy. He's super fast and has a very very great style. A wonderful guitarist, all around. Best part is, he's only 22 years old! He's a prodigy is what he is....

NOw, the entire Galneryus song "Silent Revelation" - performed by Syu on guitar, without the vocals.

A Japanese g3, featuring Syu *the one in the goofy bright red leather suit* and two other guys (one of which is in the next video also) \/

(in order for this specific link to work, you must copy paste it into the address box, ((and of course, take away the spaces in between the W's)) and take away the underscore in between thte equals sign and the P. It won't let me link this video, because when you put an equals sign next to a P on Deviantart, they automatically make it into a smiley face, like this one )

Lastly, An instructional video of Syu and another guy *from a different band, who is also incredible, and will probably be next month's artist!* Syu is the guy in the goofy bright red suit.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!


Theme: If you could completley redesign one of your favorite guitarists/bands album cover, how would it look?

Rules: Has to be completley different from the original album cover in question, and must, like most album covers, contain the name of the artist/band and the name of the cd on it. Must only pick ONE album (one Deviation per person) And must reflect the artist and album well.

Art may be digital, photomanipulated, or hand-drawn. MUST be a significant amount of manipulation, don't just take a pic of Joe Satriani and click "effect" once. Do something original to it ^_^

Michael Kammeyer - Guitars

Lance King - Vocals (Profile [link]) <-- Features another wonderful Pyramaze song that is not found on the main Pyramaze page

Jonah Weingarten - Keyboards

Morten Gade Sorensen - Drums

Niels Kvist - Bass

Toke Skjonneman - Guitars (Profile [link]) <---features a live pyramaze video


These guys are INCREDIBLE. They've become one of my favorite bands, and I am highly impressed with their musical ability. This is powermetal at it's all time BEST!! Lance King's voice is heavenly and epic, while the instrumentalists all play with effortless ability. I am a huge fan of Michael and Toke's guitar work also - the entire CD (Melancholy Beast) features countless beautiful guitar solos. I am filled with awe at the genious work that these guys have put forth, and thus, deem them worthy of the first "Artist of the Month" recognition. I HIGHLY recommend that everyone on the face of the earth go listen to them, and pre-order their new CD "Legend of the Bone Carver" - which features the AMAZING song "Souls in Pain" and the astounding "What Lies Beyond" (found on Lance King's personal profile)
I LOVE THESE GUYS!!!!
