Aussie guitarist James Norbert Ivanyi released a stunning debut solo album ‘Aphasia’ back in November 2013 and has just his 2nd album, ‘The Matter Circumvention‘, due for release on January 16th and available to pre-order now at http://jamesnorbertivanyi.bandcamp.com/. As you can hear from the video above track 5, ‘Thumb Trick’, is a slight shift from ‘Aphasia’ towards the more progressive side of Metal. Not to say the previous album wasn’t Progressive Metal but this has more of a Jazz Fusion element to it, I really like this direction and can’t wait to hear the rest of the album.
James mentioned in a recent video that he recorded most of the new album with his Suhr Classic Antique rather than his Suhr Modern so I wonder if there will be more of this Fusion influence throughout the record, all will be revealed in 16 days!
