- Joe Stump returns with a new blistering solo album just as he announces joining the legendary Alcatrazz!
The american shred guitar legend returns with his newest effort Symphonic Onslaught which can only be described as one fierce slab of guitar driven metal, the anticipated follow up to his critically acclaimed 2015 release The Dark Lord Rises. Symphonic Onslaught contains everything you’ve come to expect from a Joe Stump solo release: jaw dropping technical shred guitar pyrotechnics, dark classically influenced compositions containing strong melodies and killer riffs as well as the seamless blending of various schools of hard rock and metal. Once again this is another release that’ll appeal to both guitar enthusiasts as well as fans of guitar driven metal. Whether it’s the Hendrix meets Blackmore old school hard rock of Stratocastle or the black metal meets thrash meets power metal viciously heavy Facemelting Devestation or the neo-classically fueled Hit The Deck, Stump continues to proudly wear his influences on his sleeve.
