The art of six-stringer shredding has unquestionably come back to forefront in modern day hard rock and heavy metal music. And talented guitarist Lou DiBello will soon be leaving his own mark on the genre, with the release of his album, \u2018Heat Wave.\u2019 The album features input from current or former members of Manowar (guitarist Ross \u201cThe Boss\u201d Friedman) and Symphony X (bassist Mike Lepond), and is chockfull of headbanging rockers and six-string showcases, especially the tune \u201cFull Throttle,\u201d which can be sampled here: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=p-NPz-HcduM<\/p>\n

“Heat Wave is my 4th solo release and by far my best effort to date,\u201d explains DiBello. \u201cThe fact that I worked with such a great group of people was key, most notably singer Carsten Schulz, bassist Mike LePond, and legendary guitarist Ross \u2018The Boss\u2019 Friedman. It was a real honor to have Ross play dueling leads and harmonies with me on the epic track \u2018Blood on the Cross,\u2019 and he gave me valuable advice along the way as well. The record is a nice blend of hard rock\/metal with vocals as well as instrumental tracks with a real emphasis on good songs with great guitar playing, as opposed to just great guitar playing. All out rocker \u2018Let Me Hear You Scream – Rock & Roll!,\u2019 as well as instrumental tracks \u2018Full Throttle\u2019 and my take on the Michael Schenker classic \u2018Into the Arena\u2019 are a few of the highlights.\u201d
DiBello – who is an honors graduate from Musician\u2019s Institute in Hollywood, California – has been a veteran of the Central Illinois music scene since the late \u201880s. Additionally, he has played over 2,500 paid performances, 600 in last 5 years alone, plus countless opening slots for acts like .38 Special, Slaughter, LA Guns, Molly Hatchet, Foghat, Quiet Riot, Survivor, Black Crowes, Blue Oyster Cult, and more. As an instructor, DiBello has given over 25,000 private lessons, and started one of the first streaming guitar lesson websites.”<\/p>\n

The guitarist also feels he has a lot to offer in the areas of instruction and collaboration with other artists, as he is a flexible player in a range of styles and enjoys playing in many different settings. Also, he is looking to place his music for licensing for TV and film.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love playing guitar! I am blessed to continue to pursue my passion and I am looking forward to further successes in this ongoing journey.\u201d<\/p>\n
