Brosh has also shared a stage and\/or recorded with the likes Yngwie Malmsteen, Jake E. Lee, Michael Schenker, George Lynch, Greg Howe, Dave Ellefson, Pat Travers, Eddie Money, Uli Jon Roth, Joe Lynn Turner and Mike Mangini. <\/p>\n<p>Sharing the stage with the innovators of the guitar, which each has used as a vehicle for self-expression, Brosh\u2019s own musical journey continues as he has released another instrumental album chalk full of tasty riffs and solos, a true treat for all instrumental-rock-guitar aficionados.<\/p>\n<p><em>Conspiracy<\/em> is Brosh\u2019s third solo instrumental studio album; <em>Out of Oblivion<\/em> was released in 2009 and <em>Live the Dream<\/em> released in 2014, and follows his trend for creating melodic, artistic arrangements for the listening pleasure of his captive audience. In all the album features 14 new songs, and includes brilliant supporting musicians including Steel Panther&#8217;s guitarist Satchel aka Russ Parrish.<\/p>\n<p>The album was produced by Brosh, showcasing another set of skills, and mixed by industry legend Max Norman (Ozzy, Lynch Mob, Lizzy Borden, Y&#038;T, Megadeth). In all Brosh took 3 years to bring <em>Conspiracy<\/em> to life and deliver to listeners. Lots of care and effort were put into making this a top-notch album, from recording, mixing and mastering.<\/p>\n<p>Overall <em>Conspiracy<\/em> offers fans moody, atmospheric arrangements that highlight Brosh\u2019s virtuoso guitar skills. Brosh isn\u2019t merely a \u2018shredder,\u2019 he has a strong sense of melody and delivers what each song needs, versus taking the spotlight to \u2018show off.\u2019 <em>Conspiracy<\/em> falls in line with the \u201880s Shrapnel releases, which featured the best upcoming instrumental guitarists of the time. Many of whom went on to lengthy solo careers or joined prominent bands.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s apparent that the time put into crafting the music on <em>Conspiracy<\/em> was well worth the wait. Fans know what these types of \u2018albums\u2019 are all about. The musicianship is excellent. The production is brilliant, as all aspects of the instrumentation are audible and mixed to perfection. <\/p>\n<p><em>Conspiracy<\/em> is an enjoyable listen. Full of energy, the album&#8217;s spirit is infectious and Brosh\u2019s performance and musical ideas are refreshing to hear.<\/p>\n<p>Genre: Instrumental, Hard Rock<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/voJ3q61XXBk\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>Musicians:<br \/>\nEthan Brosh \u2013 (g)(b)<br \/>\nGiorgio Mongelli \u2013 (b)<br \/>\nJohn Anthony \u2013 (d)<br \/>\nDan Whitelock \u2013 (d)(k)<br \/>\nNathan Montalvo \u2013 (g)<br \/>\nJay Rigney \u2013 (b)<br \/>\nSatchel \u2013 (g)<\/p>\n<p>Track Listing:<br \/>\n1.
