Daily Heavy: Keith Merrow - The Piscator

Keith Merrow is one of the slew of "Youtube guitarists" that gear nerds such as myself go nuts over, not just for their fantastic playing, but also for their tasty custom shop guitars and nice rack gear.


This song comes from Merrow's self released album Awaken The Stone King, which is a prog/melodeath sounding instrumental gem.

Blending Arabian style lead lines over tight staccato riffing comes out sounding amazing and although the rest of the song plays out in a sort of technical death metal meets prog metal, it gives keeps the listener interested throughout.

If you like Merrow, you'll be glad to hear that he is planning a collaborative album with legendary shredder Jeff Loomis in the near future - oh my!
