MAXXXWELL CARLISLE - "Full Metal Thunder" EP
Straight out of Los Angeles, California comes hot-shot shred guitarist and competitive bodybuilder Maxxxwell Carlisle.
Over the past several years, he has taken high energy virtuoso guitar pyrotechnics to a whole new level with the release of 4 punishing solo albums and countless live shows up and down the West Coast.
His street credibility has been further cemented with his time as a touring guitarist in Deathriders, the thrash band led by original Anthrax vocalist Neil Turbin.
His latest 2013 EP "Full Metal Thunder" featuring new vocalist Michael Yancy is full of US arena metal anthems that make you want to play air guitar with reckless abandon and pump your fist high into the air.
Showcasing the musical spirit of heavy weight legendary bands such as Saxon, Riot,Loudness, and Impellitteri, the songs take you back to a time when Heavy Metal ruled the airwaves.
The EP includes guest guitar solos by Nita Strauss (The Iron Maidens) and Rick Renstrom (Rob Rock, Mistheria).
His latest achievement in the quest for world domination has seen him recently join the new line-up of legendary Los Angeles, California based heavy metal band Hellion as they find themselves recording an album of new material with legendary producer Ken Scott (Pink Floyd, Jeff Beck, The Rolling Stones, etc.) and gearing up for a follow-up tour.
2013 continues to find him shredding away at a furious pace with his incendiary playing being featured on the upcoming Michael Angelo Batio CD, "Intermezzo".
Maxxxwell Carlisle has already worked with many top musicians including Michael Angelo Batio (Nitro), Tina Guo (Solo artist and Cirque du Soleil / Michael Jackson Tour), Ethan Brosh (Angels of Babylon), Neil Turbin (Anthrax), Nita Strauss (The Iron Maidens and Femme Fatale), Simon Wright (Dio, AC/DC), Bjorn Englen (Yngwie Malmsteen, Tony Macalpine) and many more.
With influences ranging from Chris Impellitteri, Akira Takasaki, Tony Macalpine, Michael Angelo Batio, Yngwie Malmsteen, Luca Turilli, Paul Gilbert, Rusty Cooleyand Jason Becker, his sound is a blend of neoclassical and straight over-the-top balls-to-the-wall shred guitar.
