│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ There can be an endless argument to the identity ║ │
│║ of the greatest guitar shredder of all time. ║ │
│║ Some will support Yngwie Malmsteen or the late ║ │
│║ Gary Moore, because they began a wide string of ║ │
│║ Neo-Classical Metal legacies, the former after ║ │
│║ the first years of his RISING FORCE band. On the ║ │
│║ other hand, the ones that came after them like ║ │
│║ David Chastain, Chris Impelliteri, Michael ║ │
│║ Angelo and Joe Stump among others gained a lot ║ │
│║ of fans over the years that crowned them as the ║ │
│║ most top notch Shred guitarists of all time. So ║ │
│║ will that fight end? I donÆt think so as every ║ │
│║ year there is a newborn dude that starts playing ║ │
│║ fast and furious with great quality and right ║ │
│║ afterwards starts his project and the rest you ║ │
│║ already know. Whether it will subside or not, ║ │
│║ the attempts for the top will never cease. On ║ │
│║ that note, Joe Stump, once the Shred master of ║ │
│║ his own late REIGN OF TERROR band, presents ║ │
│║ another album, his tenth solo release, ôRevenge ║ │
│║ Of The Shredlordö, via Lion Music. As if all the ║ │
│║ types of arpeggios and other different special ║ │
│║ scales werenÆt covered already, Joe Stump fumes ║ │
│║ with epic instrumental notifications continuing ║ │
│║ his amazing technical skill with various types ║ │
│║ of guitars. Nevertheless, as much as I liked ║ │
│║ this release very much, it is the same thing all ║ │
│║ over again following the same patterns of the ║ │
│║ Neo-Classical approach. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ It is not that Joe Stump isnÆt special, because ║ │
│║ every guitarist no matter how influenced from ║ │
│║ others, has his own singular signature, even if ║ │
│║ not evident at first listen. With Joe Stump it ║ │
│║ is the same thing. Most of the way I felt as if ║ │
│║ I was listening to Yngwie Malmsteen just without ║ │
│║ a working vocalist or a song structured ║ │
│║ formulations. I noticed that most of the tunes ║ │
│║ and playing styles of very similar to the ║ │
│║ latter. However, Yngwie Malmsteen wasnÆt the one ║ │
│║ that started or invented shredding fast as he ║ │
│║ was also influenced by others. In the bottom ║ │
│║ line, Joe Stump has been continuing that same ║ │
│║ prominent line of Neo-Classical breed with only ║ │
│║ a few new pointers that can be summoned up by ║ │
│║ strong rhythms of ferocity. ôPistolerosö, ôIn ║ │
│║ the Master's Houseö, ôEvil Beasts Belowö and ║ │
│║ ôWhite Knuckle Mayhemö werenÆt just plane ║ │
│║ examples of amazing guitar skill, which has been ║ │
│║ evident right from the first licks of ôThe ║ │
│║ Ritual Beginsö, I felt that those actually had ║ │
│║ something to state, a short, or epic, story, ║ │
│║ grim or the other way around, to tell, a theme ║ │
│║ song to follow and hang on to. Stump might have ║ │
│║ shredded his way through passages but I sensed ║ │
│║ that he was able to make the guitar unravel the ║ │
│║ ambiguities behind each tune. Though I would ║ │
│║ have preferred a vocalist alongside the powerful ║ │
│║ shredding, I felt fortunate to listen to such ║ │
│║ great displays of technical abilities. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Despite the fact that Joe Stump has been one of ║ │
│║ many Shred guitarists reaching for the top, he ║ │
│║ is one of the greater good of veterans. ôRevenge ║ │
│║ Of The Shredlordöcoming at number ten for this ║ │
│║ guy is one of the many great features under his ║ │
│║ belt. I canÆt say if it is the best of them all ║ │
│║ as I havenÆt listened to too many of his earlier ║ │
│║ albums, but I bet it can be one of them. ║ │
│║ However, it is still a ShredderÆs album and I ║ │
│║ would really recommend for Stump on bringing a ║ │
│║ vocalist to sing at least several of tunes. ║ │
