Ex-Megadeth Guitarist Mike Albert Releases Amazing New Solo Project ‘Crime Of Passion’


Guitar hero Mike Albert, known for his blazing guitar work with BIG 4 iconic metal band MEGADETH, as well as FRANK ZAPPA & EL CHICANO, releases his greatest work of his career with the album ‘CRIME OF PASSION’. A solo project with a great backing band, Mike alternates between blazing instrumental tracks that show off his guitar pyrotechnics & great rock anthems with soaring vocals.

Southern California based, Albert is known in guitar circles as a consummate player and innovator on the six strings. Just off an appearance as the giant NAMM SHOW in Anaheim California, where he was praised for his legendary playing & exceptional new album. There is a major release party planned for Hollywood, the old stomping grounds of his playing in the legendary band MEGADETH.

Led by the single & video to the song ‘Drive’ (http://bit.ly/1dJINhw), the raging guitar heroics sets the pace for the frenetic energy of the acclaimed ‘CRIME OF PASSION’ album. “Molten tone, and the magic of early MEGADETH,” states Recolver/Guitar World/VH-1’s Martin Popoff, “really ferocious playing, I greatly look forward to the album!” Available on iTUNES at: https://itunes.apple.com/am/album/mike-albert-project-crimes/id795554888
