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."
