Melodic Modern Death
metallers Solution .45 released
their amazing debut album "For Aeons Past" on April 12th
and, to give you insight into just how dark this album can be, we
asked guitar player Tom Gardiner to comment
on the new songs; "track-by-track".
A trailer for
"For Aeons Past" is
available now here,
and the album is available at HMV and all good independent
stores.
THE
CLOSE BEYOND
Wow, what can I say..? Great song to open up this album! Still can't
get over how that 8-string part catches you off guard! Sounds like a
rusty hook from below impaling you and dragging you down to hell or
something! Me likes!
GRAVITATIONAL LENSING
By now, this track should be one of the more well-known tracks, since
it's been on Metal Injection, www.classicrockmagazine.com
and also Myspace and Youtube, for a while. And with good reason! I
think it's worth the extra attention! Great song and superb vocal
performance!!
THROUGH NIGHT- KINGDOMED GATES
Maybe my personal favourite. Christian's vocal arrangements on
the verse parts were a nice surprise to me; I always assumed it would
be a growling part….. And, the outro vocal parts are awesome too!
Also watch out for some axe trading from Jani and I which is just
killer!!
FOR AEONS PAST
I was similarly surprised by this one; this time, I pictured a melodic
verse instead of the growling vocals, but damn, it kicks maximum ass
just as it is! Christian is full of surprises on this album! After a
few listens, this had to be the title track!
LETHEAN TEARS
Ladies, we're coming for YOU!!
BLADED VAULTS
This track brings a lot of fond memories with it. I've played
some of the pre-production versions of this one on different clinics
and guitar fairs before actually! One time in Oulu, Finland, I had a
clinic duet with Wintersun drummer Kai Hahto and we actually played
this track together! He actually learned the song in a real short
notice and we jammed through with no problem! Great guy. This one has
some Chopin-influenced guitar soloing! Hope this track will bring fond
memories to you too, in time! Enjoy…!
WIRETHRONE
Brutality and passion captured in a sonic entity! This has my
favourite chorus at the moment. Soaring melody with brutal vocals!
Kind of like the beauty and the beast, except we ain't no
beauties…!! (But, ladies, we can be your beasts!).. It’s a very
soulful song!
ON EMBERED FIELDS ADUST
Like “Bladed Vaults”, I've played this one on clinics and with Mr.
Hahto too. Some psychedelic solos coming your way, and a really good
lyric from our wonderful lyric team, Mr Stanne and Mr Alvestam!
INTO SHADOW
I think this is the most soulful song on the album (well, that’s
just my humble opinion of course…)! Really special moment!”
CLANDESTINITY NOW
Long song, so short description: EPIC! Three songs in one!! What can
you say; it just found its own timeframe!”
Killer and thanks for
listening!!
