To assert that PITTMAN has had a storied career is something of an understatement. His resumé includes an ongoing and fruitful collaboration with multi-platinum selling artist MADONNA, having recorded and toured with her extensively over a period of more than fifteen years. Then there's his first band, MYRA MAINS, his stint in the metallic behemoth that is PRONG, and collaborations with a broad spectrum of international artists. If his time with PRONG did not fully communicate just how much metal flowed through his veins, with 2014's Flemming Rasmussen-produced The Power Of Three - his first release with Metal Blade Records - he compellingly blended killer riffs, blistering leads and gigantic hooks to deliver an album that was equal parts anthemic grandeur and in-your-face attitude, making metalheads around the world sit up and take note.
Alongside wanting to make a heavier, faster record, PITTMAN also wanted to push the boundaries of his guitar playing, while experimenting more dramatically with song structures and tones. This is made clear by the diversity of the record, which while predominantly a blast of armor-plated adrenaline showcases an admirable range of sounds and styles, features some straight up rockers and truly beautiful moments amidst the metallic attack.
Teamed up with powerhouse drummer Richard Christy of CHARRED WALLS OF THE DAMNED/ICED EARTH/DEATH fame and virtuoso bassist Billy Sheehan, famous for his work with a plethora of extremely talented artists - including DAVID LEE ROTH, MR. BIG and, more recently, THE WINERY DOGS - the skill of all concerned explodes from the speakers. With such passionate professionals and Jay Ruston (ANTHRAX, STEEL PANTHER) handling production duties, the record came together quickly and smoothly, Pittman recording his guitar parts wherever he found himself while on the road. With unique artwork provided by Sean K Hughes - who PITTMAN met at a bar called The Black Rabbit in Melbourne, Australia - this really is the proverbial "whole package": an album that has been lovingly crafted in all aspects, that he hopes reaches as many ears as possible.
