George Bellas returns with "Venomous
Fingers", his 3rd solo release and his 1st for Lion Music.
Following stints with Artension, Mogg/Way and Ring Of Fire, Bellas
displays his love for classical music and incorporates shred metal
with enough refinement and feel to make this release truly
enjoyable. There is a certain cosmic feel to the appropriately
titled "Journey To The Stars". This particular track reminds
me of keyboardist Jean-Michel Jarre's "Rendez-Vous" release from the
mid 1980's. (An instrumental masterpiece).
"Shredding Skin" is a definite nod towards old-school
Shrapnel-styled shred guitar heroics. The spacey feel returns
on "Above and Beyond" which is another beautifully crafted
composition.
"Venomous Fingers" possesses a very warm feel throughout the disc,
especially on the space metal type tracks. "One Last Wish" could
easily have been a Pink Floyd instrumental track in feel.
"Venomous Fingers" jumps back and forth between shred and subdued, a
nice mixture of textures, styles and moods. Fans of Steve Vai
who are not familiar with Bellas' work would do well to check this
CD out.
