Throughout the duration of time in which Chris has been writing, his new material certainly possess the qualities in which instrumental quality, technical prowess and undeniable ability are central to the atmospheres created through listening to ‘Schiermann’. The third track ‘Stygian Path’ epitomises this perfectly, describing the long and gruesome battle between ancient warriors through changing riffs, wondrous melodies and contrasting harmonies. Chris’ primary inspiration Randy Rhoads and his distinctive sound is evident in this release, creating new dimensions of finesse and musical intelligence.
