If
you thought that Canadian rock started and
ended with Rush, Saga or Triumph, think
again. Canadian guitar virtuoso, Dave
Martone is a force to be reckoned with. Dave
has recorded several excellent albums with
influences which range from straight ahead
rock and progressive metal to more
experimental tones, something that has
brought him a considerable amount of
attention from fans worldwide.
Dave has performed in countless cities in
the world, given clinics and taught at
Berklee College Of Music and the National
Guitar Workshop. He has written
instructional columns for the likes of
Guitarpalooza Records, the Guitar 9 website,
Italy's Guitar2001 as well as being featured
in one of the worlds largest guitar
magazines ‘Guitar One’ being profiled as one
of four underground 'shred gods' in the
January 2006 issue. This illustrious
background shows the reputation that comes
with the Martone name and Lion Music is
proud to introduce Dave’s new solo album
“Martone - When The Aliens Come”.
The new album is 13 tracks full of crunching
guitars with the song writing emphasis on
maintaining an element of the future. Dave
comments, “My goal was first off complete
it. I did a DVD in the middle and that took
some time. The main concept of the album is
trying to envision what music of the future
might be. Trying to imagine that I could hop
in some alien space ship 400 years from now
and see what was playing on their I-pod
equivalent!”. Dave used everyday life as
inspiration for the album, “There are so
many things we go through on a day to day
basis. Being able to capture them sonically
is quite challenging. Sometimes it is quite
easy”.
“When The Aliens Come” showcases what the
guitar is capable of in the right hands in
2007 and may just show where the guitar is
heading in the future.
