He's a serious shredder with a wicked sense of humour. He's the architect of many a killer song and multiple musical projects but moreover a genuine guy with a positive attitude and the un-wilting will to entertain. He is Sir Andy Gillion, and anything that Sir Andy Gillion engineers garners serious attention. Read more ›› |

This looks like a blast.

This is a remarkable album with a very cool and interesting concept, most definitely one for the nerds of this world. The guitar work is outstanding as always, it flows extremely well and there are tons of memorable melodies throughout the entire album  Excellent job Andy, your the modern day Jeff Beck  The whole album is consistently good but the main highlights if I had to choose are "1988", "Megadrive", "Enter The Castle" and "GAME OVER".

Yo this bangs. Zippy, bouncy, shreddy and occasionally melancholic. But I think the biggest surprise of this album is finding out that Matt Heafy can fucking shred.

This concept fitted Andy's shreddy musicianship really well. I hope for more arcade metal even if my taste leans more to his melodic style.

This is one great album. I couldn't believe my eyes when I noticed they somehow got Yuzo Koshiro, one of the greatest and most influential videogame composers ever to make a guest appearance. I bet Andy Gillion loves early 90's Sega games, those were Koshiro's forte. Even to cover art reminds me of Streets of Rage. It's just too bad that Koshiro really doesn't have much to work with here because it's just a short intro.
---- You've got a lot of guts. Let's see what they look like!
