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.

Conquering Dystopia - Ashes of Lesser Men
The shredheads and instrumental fans among you are likely already aware of Conquering Dystopia, a powerhouse of a supergroup that features, among others, Jeff Loomis. Anybody unaware of this musical endeavour should sit up and take notice right now, because this may well be 2014's best source of tasteful-yet-over-the-top instru-metal.
"Ashes of Lesser Men" is not only a sweet track, but it's also been given the playthrough video treatment, meaning you can watch as Jeff Loomis and Keith Merrow destroy their way through some tasty riffing and badass shredding. I will most definitely be checking out more of Conquering Dystopia's debut self-titled LP. How about you?

Song of the Day: Intervals - Tapestry
Guten tag, everyone. Today I've got a killer new tune for you from a band that I've been talking up at every available opportunity over the last few months. They've been streaming their new EP online for the last week or two, but since said EP is officially out today, what better day to crank some instrumental metal?*
