Is he going places in the world of guitar music too?<\/p>\n<p>\u201c2 Fast 2 Furious\u201d takes off with a bang, nothing is slow. Other musicians on the album are; Frank Huber, drums (ex. VALLEYS EVE), and Bob Katsionis, keyboards (FIREWIND). Spontaneously this is fast, neat and accessible. The production courtesy of RD Liapakis is also a quality job. CONSTANTINE seems not to be an 80\u00b4s speed freak, \u201cDistracted\u201d displays a heavier style and he has no hesitation about letting the other musicians show off. He heads for softer SATRIANI- style with \u201cRational Chaos\u201d. \u201cJihad\u201d is of cause a trip into Arabia. It is the first track to which I lack vocals. There is a lot of crunch in the joyous \u201cA Fine Day to Die\u201d, but my favorite is nevertheless the groovy \u201cThe Blame Game\u201d. It is the essence of CONSTANTINE`S range. But it is almost wequalled by \u201cA Rose for Rejection\u201d. CONSANTINE doesn\u00b4t quite keep up the steem for the duration of the album, with the other instruments moving the focus away from the young talent. He still has a climb to reach people like PAUL GILBERT, RITCHIE KOTZEN and, why not new starlet DAVY MARTONE. But he performs well and judging by his looks he has his future ahead of him. <\/p>\n<p>Track List<br \/>\n2 Fast 2 Furious<br \/>\nDistracted<br \/>\nRational Chaos<br \/>\nJihad<br \/>\nA Fine Day to Die<br \/>\nThe Blame Game<br \/>\nA Rose for Rejection<br \/>\nA Tear in the Open<br \/>\nPlaying with Fire<\/p>\n<p>www.7hard.com www.myspace.com\/constantine3000<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>7Hard\/Cargo CONSTANTINE is normally guitarslinger for MYSTIC PROPHECY and DESCEND.
