ADRIAN WEISS - Criminal Record
Independent
Adrian
Weiss is a very talented guitarist and the first time I came in touch with his
work was through the band GLORYFUL who I believe that have much to offer in the
heavy/power metal genre. It seems though that Adrian’s creative ambitions are
not satisfied only through the music of GLORYFUL. He is an artist that
constantly searches for new creative challenges and different ways to express
himself. This is how the third album under the title “Criminal Record” was
created.
The
release is instrumental and of course, as you can guess, it is guitar driven.
Here Adrian in comparison with his work on GLORYFUL sounds more melodic and
sometimes we can say modern. The compositions that are included here are an
amalgam of metal, rock and blues. There are also some grooves and modern metal
touches. The interesting point of this release is the talent of the guitarist
to combine all these elements and craft solid compositions. The passage from
the metal/melodic elements to the blues one and back again comes really
naturally. There are times that in his rock moments Adrian reminded me a bit of
Carlos Santana. The other element that makes this album interesting and open to
all kinds of audiences is that Adrian creates compositions that everyone can
listen to and doesn’t use them as a means to display his skills on the guitar.
If
you want to listen to an interesting melodic and guitar driven rock/metal album
then I think that “Criminal Record” will leave you more than satisfied.
