Legendary guitarist, JOE
SATRIANI, announces plans to release his 15th solo studio album,
“SHOCKWAVE SUPERNOVA”, on Friday 24th July, making him one
of the first to utilise the new “Friday, Global Release Day” for music.
The album will be released on
CD, download and 2 LP vinyl. Satriani’s World Tour begins 17th September in
Europe (US Tour planned early 2016). The UK leg of the European tour starts
November 1st at the O2 Apollo Manchester with special guest Dan Patlansky.
It would be easy to call
Shockwave Supernova a “masterpiece” or “the last word on guitar” from the
world’s most commercially successful solo guitar performer. Satch, however,
sees it much more personally. He has consistently advanced the artistry of the
instrument; an effort he dedicated himself to on 18th September, 1970, the day
his idol Jimi Hendrix died.
Recorded late last year at
Skywalker Sound in Lucas Valley, California, Satriani assembled the dynamic trio
of world-class musicians who had recently been part of his global tour; renowned
keyboardist and guitarist Mike Keneally, a veteran of several Satch
outings and recordings; along with drumming whiz Marco Minnemann and bass
extraordinaire Bryan Beller. “I couldn’t have asked for a better band to
help bring these songs to life,” says Satriani.
The album also sees Satriani
once again joining forces co-producer and engineer John Cuniberti. Satch
and Cuniberti share production on Shockwave Supernova, as they have on
numerous albums – their shared history dates back to the guitar star’s 1986
debut album, Not Of This Earth and its follow-up, the platinum-selling,
critically acclaimed, Surfing with the Alien.
