Some of Finland's most respected metal guitarist collaborating on new album.
Some of Finland's most respected metal guitarists will play on a collaboration album, which is to be released next fall. "Guitar Heroes" is an instrumental album, which will include over ten guitarists - some of who have been internationally successful.
The collaboration album includes: Timo Tolkki (Stratovarius), Alexi Laiho and Roope Latvala (Children of Bodom), Emppu Vuorinen (Nightwish), Esa Holopainen (Amorphis), Sakari Hietala (Tarot), Tuomio (ex-Impaled Nazarene), Euge Valovirta (Godsplague, Suburban Tribe), Mikko Salovaara (Kiuas), Nino Laurenne (Thunderstone) and Mr. Crab (Bleak).
The rhytm section will also include some serious firepower like Kai Hahto (Wintersun, Rotten Sound) and Lauri Porra (Stratovarius, Warmen).
Every guitarist has composed his own song on the album without any restricting elements. The culmination of the album will be a joint performance, where all the guitarists will "battle" each other by playing solos.
- It was great to have all the guitarist I wanted to play on this album. Most of the guitarists have done the recording with their own amps, so I've tried to catch their own unique sound on the record. I believe, that the record will give great moments for those of us, who grew up with the 80's guitar heroes, and also to new guitar players, who are popping up like mushrooms after rain in Finland, says producer Nino Laurenne.
Guitar Heroes album will be released in November 7th.
edit: To make it clearer: Roope and Alexi will both do their own songs to the album.

). These are solos that fit a good instrumental track, so i'm really hoping for something Sinergy-like.
