\"Adrian\u201cShred is not dead!\u201d is the proclamation of Shredguy Records. With the release of Adrian English\u2019s third, mostly instrumental album, Total Chaos<\/em>, both English and Shredguy Records put their money where their mouth is. Following up Innerplanetarium<\/em>, English\u2019s continued musical explorations journey down technical avenues requiring maddening skills to produce sonic chaos.<\/p>\n

Total Chaos<\/em> contains 13 new songs, with minimal guests this time around and plenty of jaw dropping guitar solos and riffs. Produced by English the CD features guest guitarists Tony Lopez on \u201cBrutect\u201d and \u201cEnter Psych Bender\u201d and Rian Wihantama on \u201cThe Nine Yard Belt.\u201d Vocalist GodGray 9.0 appears on the song \u201cBrutect.\u201d <\/p>\n

Sensory overload is a good way to describe the 13 songs of Total Chaos<\/em>. For the uninitiated the music is jarring, angry and unapologetic. The music is a blazing display of heavy, intense riffs combined with searing fret-board solos, where melodies quickly evolve into hypersonic display of technical prowess. English does stuff on the fret-board that many only wish they could do. <\/p>\n

It is a mind-numbing jaunt through songs that average five and half minutes. Total Chaos<\/em> isn\u2019t \u201ceasy listening\u201d per say, but it is interesting listening. With duration of nearly an hour, those who make it through the entire CD in one go around will feel like they were driving during a NASCAR race.<\/p>\n

What will listeners take away from Total Chaos? While the performances are amazing, music like this doesn\u2019t necessarily leave you with a melody to latch on to and remember. What Total Chaos<\/em> does provide is a testament to English\u2019s technical ability and creative mind. With Total Chaos<\/em> you certainly get what you paid for.<\/p>\n
