ASTERISM’S new disc, ‘Guernica’ will definitely appease appetites looking for super shredding as well as for advanced and interesting compositions. This Japanese power trio of musical prodigies created a debut album called ‘Ignition’ (NOT available on iTunes) that showed the band rocking out with copious breaks to showcase their individual talents. ‘Guernica’ represents an evolution where the music is just as intense and technical, but crafted to be a more refined ‘band’ sound rather than an aggregate of highly skilled players. Preview. Be blown away. Buy. Tell others!

This trio doesn’t disappoint. Fantastic music with great rock/metal melodies hitting you right in the face with pure power. Highly recommend.
