Godin Freeway Classic

This Guitar is made in Quebec, some part are shipped to the USA and it's assembled there. I think it's to avoid having to pay for custom fee because of the electronics.

I did pay 580 CA$ for that guitar, it's a steal if you consider the quality.

The pickup are Godin's and they sound full and amazing, I am not sure but I think they are in fact made by Seymour Duncan. I'll post some video or some sound sample soon to let you hear the different pickup position on that guitar

I chose that model because I believe it's a very versatile guitar. At first, the metal player in me was afraid but after a few minutes I quickly realized that this guitar has nothing to envy to those metal axes.

The neck is a bit smaller than a Fender Strat, it's really comfortable for both classic rock, shred.. anything you want.

I highly recommend you to try a Godin guitar before you decide to buy that fancy and thin Ibanez or that too expensive  Les Paul.

Amorphis - The Beginning Of Times

As I am writing this review, my 3 weeks old son is sleeping on my chest. He does sleep tenderly to the music of Amorphis. He does seem to enjoy as he open his eyes from time to time with an interrogation point in his face. He wonders what is that great music, those majestic melody only Amorphis can stick in your head. I am sure that if he could talk, he would ask me to raise the volume in those rare faster moment of the album.

As An adult, I see thing a bit in a different way, I think this album lack a bit of originality.
Some time, the singer growls , more than in previous album, but it never last and after 15 seconds, the music goes back to the classic Amorphis sound.

I feel that I am listening to the older album, again and again.  Lucky for me.. the older album were damn good so in the end it's still a great album, I recommend it.

Feel free to comment on this post or on the other posts from this blog, it does badly need some discussion going on.

Here is a sample of the album for you to enjoy

Septic Flesh - The Great Mass

A lot of bands these days can say they are producing an "atmospheric metal" but none of these band can rival with what Septic Flesh can achieve. This band can produce an atmosphere like no other band can. 

After 3 or 4 listen.. I came to the conclusion that it's not their best album at all but is still a great piece of work.
