Catch-up Day continues here at Loud Noises, with a shredtastic Friday post for you. I've written about guitar hero Jeff Loomis' recent project Conquering Dystopia before, but since Jeff and Keith have blessed us with another playthrough video for one of Conquering Dystopia's killer tracks, I figure what better time to once again tell you that you need to hear this album?
Your Friday song is "Tethys", as good a Classically-named metal song as any I can think of off the top of my head (Tethys is one of the Titans in Greek mythology. Thanks, years of university education!). And true to it's namesake, "Tethys" is another stellar demonstration of Jeff's mythological guitar prowess. He seems to straddle the line of tastefulness and showing off so effortlessly that it puts much of the modern metal community to shame. Young guitarists interested in become fretboard masters playing a thousand beats per minute should sit down and make notes.
