ANNOUNCES NEW SOLO ALBUM
LORD OF THE STRINGS

NEW SINGLE/VIDEO
‘FULL THROTTLE’
OUT NOW

PRE-ORDER HERE

The Professor of Shred Joe Stump returns with the pedal firmly to the metal on his new solo album,
Lord of the Strings, set for release on October 16 th via Silver Lining Music. Pre-orders available from
18 th August at this location.

The first single taken from Lord of the Strings, aptly titled ‘Full Throttle’, kicks off the album in
blistering style. An unfiltered blast of riff-driven firepower and shreddery, the track sets the tone for
what’s to come, delivering a relentless introduction to the electrifying virtuosity that runs throughout the
record.

“‘Full Throttle’ is a high-velocity track incorporating all the elements you’d expect to hear from me on
one of my solo records,” Joe Stump affirms. “Fierce Metal riffage combined with strong classically
influenced melodies and of course the usual absurd amount of highly technical blazing shred guitar
pyrotechnics. All of it is executed with a modern-day Ritchie Blackmore badass rock attitude. If you’re
a guitar enthusiast or a metal fan, there’s certainly plenty of action on this one!”

Watch/Listen to ‘Full Throttle’ at this location

Stump doesn’t just lay down the speed as he does in ‘Full Throttle’ or revisit the classic grounds of
traditional melodic heavy metal on tracks such as ‘Playing with Fire’, on this 12-track instrumental
opus, Stump takes the guitar into lyrical territory with the likes of ‘In the Hall of the King’ and
‘Eternity of Darkness’ with his supremely detailed licks taking the lead narrative role. Stump also
exercises moments of poetic acoustic reflection on ‘Den of Vipers’ and ‘Leipzig 1722’, but overall,
Lord of the Strings is a belting, relentless beast, and (as the man himself says) ‘a heavy metal guitar
orgy’.
If you crave screaming guitars of Valhallic proportions, this one is for you. Stump is a guitarist that
likes his riffs to roar and his leads to flash like lightning. Stump delivers every track with extraordinary
power, precision and purpose, pushing the guitar to its limits while never holding back. From searing
riffs to jaw-dropping shred, Lord of the Strings is designed to hit hard, hit fast and leave its mark.
This is guitar playing at full force and you won’t want to miss it.
Lord of the Strings will be released on standard CD digipak, special edition CD digipak, digital
download, streaming and special D2C bundles. Available to pre-order from August 18 at this location.
