DAVID T. CHASTAIN - Three New Compilation Albums Now Available
August 5, 2012, 11 years ago
CHASTAIN guitarist/founder David T. Chastain has released three compilation albums - Progressive Metal Axiom, Fusion Delusion, and Neoclassical Compositions No. 1 - via his own label, Leviathan Records. He has issued the following statement:
"Throughout my career I have been 'patted on the back' for having diverse styles on my instrumental albums. At this point in time, I have decided to group similar styled tracks from my previous releases to give a more unified front. I think they work quite well this way. While I certainly don't regretmaking my previous albums varied within themselves, I believe these three releases present a stronger vision of my music."
Progressive Metal Axiom: These tracks were culled from David's instrumental releases through the years and offers up a full CD of nothing but progressive metal. This release showcases his original creativity and well as his guitar prowess. A must for all fans of progressive metal.
Fusion Delusion: A collection of David T. Chastain's fusion influenced instrumental tracks. Guitar For The Practicing Musician: "It's a full blown jazz/
rock album in the mold of Return To Forever, Allan Holdsworth and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, with superlative progressive work from Chastain."
Neoclassical Compositions No. 1: This collection of neoclassical influenced tracks from David T. Chastain is impressive and original. These tracks were taken from David's vast catalog of instrumental releases. Included are two bonus tracks never before available on Leviathan Records. David has been
favorably compared to all of the great guitarist of the "Neoclassical golden era" of the late '80s and early '90s. His Instrumental Variations CD is considered one of the best ever of the genre."
