Easy Game

Easy Game is Adrian Weiss´s second instrumental solo album featuring his current live band members Lars Zehner (drums) and Marcel Willnat (bass). The album takes the heaviness a little further than the debut album Big Time and for the first time also incorporates Adrian´s guitar slapping technique on two of the songs (Awkward Silence, Camel´s Dance). The music always remains melody centered with clear song structures while grazing many rock and metal styles including fusion, progressive, world and blues. The following guest musicians are featured on Easy Game: Demian Heuke (These Are The Days, solo artist - currently promoting album quot;Treumalquot;), Manuel Franken (Korsakow) Christian Muenzner (Obscura, Spawn Of Possession, Necrophagist) Thorsten Praest (GUT), Jens Basten (Gloryful, Night In Gales, Deadsoil) Vito Papotto (Exotoxis, Gloryful) Jens Schaefer (Thought Sphere, Moment Of Detonation) Mischa Lenz (Kinski´s Eyes, Forces At Work) Mf-C (Kinski´s Eyes) Tim Schulte (Stigma, Wölli Und Die Band Des Jahres) Most songs were written during the summer of 2013 by Adrian Weiss. Offbeat Frankenstine is a tune of guitarrist Manuel of German rock band Korsakow that he handed over to Adrian as a basis for an instrumental track. The rhythm and acoustic guitars and the final lead part were perfomed by Manuel, the other leads by Adrian and four guest players including Jens Basten (Adrian´s bandmate from Gloryful) and Vito Papotto (formerly Gloryful, Exotoxis). The album was recorded, engineered and mixed by Tim Schulte in Hilden, Germany between December 2013 and May 2014. Mastering by Eroc at EMR in June 2014.
