JOE STUMP Putting Finishing Touches On New Solo Album

August 9, 2008

REIGN OF TERROR/HOLYHELL guitarist Joe Stump has issued the following update:

"Both the Bulgarian festival and the Magic Circle Festival were quite successful for HOLYHELL. The band played killer sets at both, and the band's fan base has really begun to grow. We previewed a couple new things from the upcoming full-length debut record and the response was great.

"Since I came back, I've been in the studio finishing my next solo offering. It'll be done within the next few days, and I'm happy to say it's by far the best thing I've ever done throughout my two-decade-long career of making and releasing records. It's a great diverse mix of tunes. And, of course, there's some maniacal neo-classical speed metal stuff, a few evil riff heavy tracks, an emotionally drenched Gary Moore-inspired guitar ballad, and some killer retro Blackmore /PURPLE /Hendrix /Trower /Marino-type tunes.

"The record should be released sometime in late October/early November.

"While there are several working titles, I've yet to settle on one, as playing and composing all this intense guitar shit is far easier than coming up with one of my cool and somewhat pretentious titles after all these records."
