CRIMINAL RECORD

German based composer and guitarist Adrian WEISS have been involved in various band projects since the 1990's, and is a seasoned performer and instrumentalist. He opted to launch a solo career back in 2011, and so far three studio albums have been crafted as a part of that venture, alongside quite a few live performances. "Criminal Record" is the most recent of these solo albums, and was self released at the tail end of 2016.

I could probably say just about the same about the qualities of "Criminal Record" as I could say about Weiss earlier solo albums. Instrumental music is the name of the game here, hard rock and metal the main and dominant styles explored, and taken on in a manner that will give this album an appeal also beyond the spheres of the guitar hero fans. The latter will obviously be a key audience, but those who may want to check out a guitarist solo album made with a regular rather than instrument-oriented listener in mind should take note of this album too, as well as Weiss previous solo albums.
