“Guitars That Ate My Brain” Compilation Details

Blabbermouth.net reports Magna Carta Records has set a February 10 release date for “Guitars That Ate My Brain”, a collection of a dozen mind-altering instrumentals from today's most accomplished metal axe grinders. According to a press release, the CD is “a twelve-headed hydra of monster guitar riffage that slashes, shreds and gnaws its way into your very psyche — rides the lightning with enough electrifying precision to scorch and scramble your gray matter.

Despite the shifting tempos and uniquely frightening technical prowess of these speed demons, a strange cohesion connects the disparate (some might call them distressing) tracks on this mammoth compilation, as if these explosive, multi-layered instrumentals were largely the work of one multi-dimensional (and quite disturbed) musical personality. In other words, true metal madness.”
