Greetings and salutations!
Got a call from NASA last night. They want to send another gilded disc into space in order to show anyone out there who might be listening how far mankind's musical abilities have evolved. Radio waves carrying music transmitted from Earth do not qualify over long distances due to entropy and dark matter so they are launching a new space shuttle. There was consensus among the scientists to choose a song by the Canadian phenomenon Quo Vadis, so which song do I tell them to pick?
I would vote in favour of "On the Shores of Ithaka".
The track has everything: Awesome rifts, jaw-dropping drum work, amazing bass, superb vocals etc. Yes, I know, all Quo Vadis tracks have that, fortunately, but what really sets this one apart is the transcendent guitar solo.
In the history of metal, a few guitar solos have been made to which all other solos have been compared in oder to determine whether they are below or above standard. The solo on "Shores" is one of those solos which raises the bar for others to try to reach in the future.
Combine all of this and you truly have a track for the ages!
