My final purchase for 2008 is the re-issued copy of Abgott's Fizala (pic here is the original album cover). Majority of the black metal legion release their albums under obscure record labels, getting them is hell.I make a point to keep track of Abgott's releases because guitarist Tanathos is a guitar teacher so my expectations of his technicalities is very high. The issue with such individuals is that they often do not manifest their true individual capacity because it gets them nowhere, they prefer being recognized in a band context. However, Tanathos' guitar authority is all over this album & it's one of the most varied guitar works I've come across in this music genre thus reflecting the mastery of his accomplishments. It won't appeal to the average Vai/ Satriani fans but if you worship guitar, this one's a respectable attainment.
