Whois Chris poland ? Well, fans of him will also remember his work with Megadeth and Damn the Machine. A guitarist who plays pure heavy guitar beauty could say.
His solo stuff is somewhat different and will appeal to a wide audience of great guitar and progressive rock Chasing The sun, the latest instrumental heavy guitar journey from guitarist Chris Poland, picks up where Return to Metalopolis left off. This is an intimate collection of rare demo tracks all of supreme quality recorded by Chris from the years 1994 through 1999. It's simply great stuff !
Seems that even in demo form, the raw beauty of these tracks captured the essence amd maturity of this gifted musician in his own mixed. Tracks like Robo Stomp , Salvador, Mercy , Song for Paul and Alexandria 99 embody a transitional phase for Poland, between Return to Metalopolis and his current instrumental fusion power tio, Ohm.
If you like his music in Megadeth, probably you won't like him now, but for all of you that you don't like Megadeth then try it out. Open your mind and hear these instrumental masterpieces. We also have to say that the European version has 3 bonus tracks, included Santa Castles which is decidated to Jimi Hendrix.
