Review : CD

 Strings 24 are a new project created by Frank Caruso, Stefano Seboâ Xotta and Gianluca Ferro. These three axemen coming from different musical experiences decided to mix their styles into a new band dedicated to guitar, with the aim to raise its musical expression. and compositional potential. The bands name comes from the three guitaristâs use of 8 string guitars For me, this debut is guitar shredding for the sake of guitar shredding, this is not a bad thing, but it’s not for everybody.. So what you get is a constant flood of notes raining down like sharp nails, very sharp nails. If I had to pick a comparison I’d say Strings 24 sounds like Vai, Satriani, Malmsteen and especially Cacaphony (Becker and Friedman) without the vocals.

A collaboration of three of 8-string guitarists in the neo-shred scene, which delivers the goods on hyperfast classically influenced guitar playing.
