WERSTLER WASTES YOU

Thursday, February 25th, 2010 at 12:45pm by

If you’re like me and you love watching great guitarists play because you yourself are a terrible guitarist but you just love the grace it takes to be a good guitarist, than you will enjoy this clip of Emil Werstler playing some of “Dura Mater.” The song is the first taste of Avalanche of Worms, the debut solo/side/not-really-sure-what-to-call-it project from Daath’s guitarists (with Cynic’s Sean Reinert on drums!):

If for some reason you still haven’t listened to the complete stream of “Dura Mater,” well, you’re depriving yourself of awesomeness, and you should go listen to it now.

Avalanche of Worms comes out 4/20 on Magna Carta. And while we’re on the topic, you should also head over to Noisecreep for a pretty cool interview with Emil and Eyal – they talk about Avalanche and also explain a little bit more why Kevin Talley (who I can assure you is still very much the drummer for Daath) sat out a chunk of the band’s 2009 tour.

    Already have mine pre ordered! Werstler is by far one of my favorite guitarists!

    I read the album title at the end of the video as “Avalanche of Wank”. That would be a better title for a shred album.

    Levi and Werstler are awesome players. Looking forward to this

    Ive heard the full album on more than one occasion and I can truthfully say “ALBUM OF THE YEAR”… also i highly recommend listening to it on acid with the volume very loud, or stoned as hell with headphones if u wanna experience something surreal.
