Masayuki Takayanagi’s New Direction: Is April the Cruellest Month? on #neuguitars #blog
Reckless. Powerful. Vital. Nonconformist. Virtuous. Free. Masayuki Takayanagi was all this and more, an incredible, uncompromising musician, whose guitar style feared no rival, not even among free screamers. Able to create music with a gravitational pull greater than that of a black hole, a hole made of music played at a cosmic level of intensity….

Simona Armenise’s electric guitar on #neuguitars #blog
http://newmodellabel.com/simona-armenise-feat-ares-tavolazzi-lotus-sedimentations/ https://simonaarmenise.bandcamp.com/releases I have to make amends. I receive many messages and emails from guitarists and record labels who offer me their music, often and willingly with a link on Spotify (which I don’t use) or on Bandcamp or on Soundcloud.

Robert Poss, distorsione, verità, fiori, danza, film, fashion e industria su #neuguitars #blog
https://www.robertposs.com/ https://robertposs.bandcamp.com/releases Viviamo in un’epoca abbondantemente post moderna, dove reti, connessioni e rizomi svolgono un ruolo fondamentale. Dove la trasversalità è manifesta a ogni livello e la rigida distinzione tra generi è ormai un ricordo del passato. Questo, almeno nel mondo dell’Arte. Robert Poss è un perfetto esempio di questo atteggiamento artistico. Cresciuto negli anni…

Andy Aledort and Bobby Lee Rodgers’ rock, thanks to Long Song Records,on #neuguitars #blog
http://www.longsongrecords.com/ Let’s talk about blues rock and we let’s do it by putting together two great records side by side, two records smilar for ideas, conception and spirit, and different for the approach on the electric guitar sound.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor on #neuguitars #blog

Sunn O))) una passeggiata tra Black Sun, Monoliths&Dimension e l’ultimo Life Metal su #neuguitars #blog
