Guitar shredder JOE STUMP (REIGN OF TERROR/HOLYHELL) has issued the following update:

“Sorry about the lack of update info on my part but, if you look on the tour dates section you’ll see that I’ve been quite busy playing/touring these days. I was in Europe all of January with HolyHell. We were, once again, out on tour with MANOWAR and, as usual when it comes to touring everything was top notch. The band played killer and the shows were great. It was cool to see many of the German fans again. After returning from Europe, I’ve had a small run of shows in the States and also just got back from a recent tour of Mexico. I hadn’t been to Mexico since 2006 and had not played Mexico City in almost seven years. The Mexican metal fans were as crazy as ever and all the shows and clinics were packed. The fans couldn’t have been cooler, and I had a great time. The Ultimate Shred Guitar Collection comes out in the US on June 8th on Magic Circle/Sony RED. It’s a collection of some of my favourite tracks from my earlier records (all remastered) as well as two previously unreleased tracks and some short video footage, all in all it is a very cool package. I have more shows/clinics in the States in May and June then over to Eastern Europe with HolyHell for a couple festivals in July. That’s it for now.”
