Album Notes

Silent Scream is Japanese guitarist Kelly Simonz' debut album in a totally new version. Recently remixed, the album features eleven majestic tracks, some neo-classical and metal, some hard rock, some ballads, along with two instrumentals, "Lies" and "Blue Monday". Simonz handed all the instrumentation on the album, which is a testament to his skill and vision. The opening title track rips along like a Rising Force number, whereas "Time" uses a modern groove to set the stage for some wicked wah-wah work and blazing, blues-based shred. For a real change-of-pace, there is even an a cappella track, "One And Only Love". "Angel Eyes" is another heavy metal track, highlighted by an impressively fluid guitar solo and keyboard break. Silent Scream is a notable effort for Simonz, introducing his many abilities to the world. Neo-Classical Metal/Hard Rock, total running time, 65:03
