Rene Benton, amerikansk gitarist med skive

Gitarvirtuos Rene Benton er ute med album. Det er Tom Brumpton som tipser Heavymetal.no. 
‘Xpressions Too!!! (Short Storeez)’ kom i handel 29. februar.

Og vi snakker om en gitarist som har med seg musikere med velkjente gjøremål på cv-en. Trommeslager Atma for eksempel? Han er jo kjent for oss som del av Cacaphony og Vinnie Moore.

Sakset: «Inspired by a number of personal tragedies and triumphs; US guitar virtuoso Rene’ Benton put blood, sweat and fears into his latest work, the thrilling Xpressions Too!!! – Short Storeez, and it very much shows!

For his current project Rene called on more musical friends, such as bassists Philip Bynoe (Steve Vai/Nuno Bettencourt/Mark Boals) and Kelly Conlon (Death/Monstrosity/Azure Emote), drummers Atma Anur (Greg Howe/Cacophony/Vinnie Moore/Jason Becker) & Paul Vowell (Radioactive Chickenheads/Green Jelly) and Funk guitar legend Charlie Singleton (Cameo) and a host of other incredible musicians.

If Rene’s body of work says anything, it’s that Xpressions Too!!! is a vastly diverse offering that has to be heard to be believed. Bold, brilliant and full of energy; Rene Benton is a name fans of Progressive guitar work across the world need to get familiar with now!»
