[NEohioPAL]"LOCAL MUSIC NEWS!"

[Michael Kolar]

       In case you have missed the recent news in 'The Scene',
                 I wanted to share this with you:
 
                     ~ "REGIONAL BEAT" ~
 
                   Kolar's Horror Rock
              Presents: The Grande Guignol !
                 
 
            " Equally indebted to 'Yngwie Malmsteen'
              and Satan, The Grande Guignol hisses 
            and haunts like The Exorcist soundtrack
            cranked through Marshall stacks. It's a
            mix of subtelty and speed, with Cleveland
            Guitarist 'Kolar' paying tribute to deceased
              'Savatage' great 'Criss Oliva' with one 
                  screaming solo after the next.
             But what seperates Kolar from so many
            other faceless 'shredders' is that he's as 
              much about atmosphere as 'arpeggios'.
             Blinding Fretwork is foremost here, but
            Kolar also infuses Guignol with Gregorian
            Chants, icy pockets of piano, and ether-
           eal synth. The album's centerpiece comes
             early, with the 10-minute 'Temples of
             Instinct', a sunless shuffle that inter-
            mingles electronics with thunderclaps of
             guitar. More abbreviated, but no less
            elaborate, are the funereal, old-world
             incantation 'La Viccia Religione' and
            the savage 'Rave New World', which
                rattles teeth like artillery fire."
