VICTOR SMOLSKI’s new album “Guitar Force” includes the best guitar work he has ever done, since it showcases his different styles of playing in such a versatility.
VICTOR SMOLSKI considers “Guitar Force” as a kind of best-of album where he presents many song ideas from Rage, Almanac and Johann Sebastian Bach in new visions.
It’s a powerful and aggressive album with a lot of dynamics when it comes to the sound and style of playing. From higain, crunchy fusion sound to nylon acoustic or crazy sitar sounds, you find all guitar influences in this album.
Nice melodies alternate with high-speed technical stuff, and a lot of great guest musicians bring different colors to the arrangements, making this album something special.
