Achilleas Diamantis came as a pleasant surprise on my ears. With his first solo album "Loaded" featuring plenty of great guitar riffs which Achilleas Diamantis wrote and played himself. Along with his guitar work, Diamantis also played the bass and keyboard on "Loaded". With more than 20 years in the music business, it's easy to hear the talent that Achilleas Diamantis possesses.

"Loaded" hits you right in the face with its Heavy Rock instrumentals and guitar shredding. Some of my more favoured songs on the album had to be "Heavy Weapon", "Blue Stone", "Big Hearted Love" and "Fake Face". For those who love Instrumental Heavy Rock, you're going to thoroughly enjoy this technical arrangement of melodies.

Varieties of mellow and energetic riffs make "Loaded" an album to check out. I for one prefer vocals in my music, but I can't deny the skill of Achilleas Diamantis. Now for your listening pleasure, "Fake Face".
