Let's face it! The guitar ain't exactly the cornerstone of today's pop music and when you tune in to an active rock station these days - guitar virtuosity doesn't exactly seize the day like it used to. All it takes is one listen to shred metal guitarist XANDER DEMOS' latest album GUITARCADIA to know that knowing your stuff when it comes to the old six string is in no way a lost art. As a composer, DEMOS boasts a musical palette that incorporate deeply melodic scorching instrumentals that bring you back to a time when rock guitar was the end-all-be-all. With his own band XDB, DEMOS has certainly left an impression on live audiences around the world by sharing stages with the likes of SYMPHONY X, ADRENALINE MOB, BUCKETHEAD, UFO, LIZZY BORDEN, KIP WINGER, NEIL ZAZZA and DIO DISCIPLES, as well as performing at ROCK HARVEST II, WOLF FEST, SKULL FEST and NAMM METAL JAM.
