Of Riffs And Symphonies

Released in 1992 on Essential Records, this is the second solo release from the former guitarist of House Of Lords and Magdalen.
"This album features a wide variety of styles, from jazz, to blues, to metal, to Steve Via style shred, to pop. Lanny Cordola is a talented and versitile guitar player and songwriter. Lanny's former band mate, James Christian, is once again the guest vocalist on two songs. ("The Real Thing" & "Revelation.") Lanny appears as a guest guitarist on James' solo album as well. It should also be noted that Joe Satriani released an instrumental album called "The Extremist" about this same time with very similar cover art (smokey, tan color) and some of the same studio musicians (Greg & Matt Bissonette)." ~ nolifetilmetal.com.
