I have to say honestly I came across your page a few years ago. And you have quickly became one of my favorite guitarist and TH-cam personalities. I quit playing guitar a few years ago and have started back again your music is amazing and your page has inspired me to start playing again. Thank you and now I’m saving for a solar guitar now
Yes. This is all i have been thinking, at first I didn't know Ola and his bands. Until my attention get caught by this solar products(which I didn't know Ola is the co-founder, until I start making my homework about the solar guitars) . Now he's one of my favourite guitarist, I wish I had known about him and his band and their materials a lot sooner. Tbh, this is the first time I'm really into heavy death/death metal bands. It's all thanks to Ola.

Well this has put a massive smile on my face on a Saturday morning. The riffs (and sound) are great, but.... from Pizza Hawaii and now this you've proven that the melodies inside of you need to be expressed more often. Quite beautiful and captivating. I can see why you needed to put out a solo album of this content, rather that be stuck inside the more rigid content of The Haunted and Feared. They're great too, but different is also good. Hey, you're really good at this melody stuff, too! Also, I had my Ragamuffin kitten on my lap during this song, and when the kitten scrolled past in the video, my kitten lunged forward to get at my screen! Nearly cost me a coffee, and a keyboard! EDIT: and as I go for another playthrough, it makes me smile again. The way that riff thunders in after the intro is absolute classic. Immediate smile, adrenaline rush, and a reach for the volume control (yes, to turn it up!) And I say thank you for the music, For giving it to me.
How could you possibly consider Feared's content rigid. Throughout their few albums they've payed hommage to pretty much every good metal band with extremely varied tracks. Maybe it's just me, but in most of Feared tracks, I hear the signature of another known band, everytime a new one, but still there. The albums are like a medley of inspirations, and not trying to hide it. This one track's main inspiration (to me) is The Wastrel by Keith Merrow. And I love it.
Nyarlah quick response: I quite agree. Even as I quickly hacked out the response above I was aware rigid wasn’t the correct term. I was simply trying to state that the solo album has left Ola more unshackled from the constraints of a ‘death metal’ album. Sure, Feared is far more than traditional death metal, and is less tied to the genre than The Haunted, but the point I was trying to make is that he’s more free to experiment with a solo project, than he’d be able to do inside of The Haunted or Feared. I hope that makes sense. Pizza Hawaii, I wouldn’t expect to hear that on a Feared album, but I love it, and so I’m glad he’s doing a solo project with which he’s far more free and open to try different stuff. Since hearing these singles I’ve actually gone back and been listening to a lot more Feared again. It’s all good, just different. Where I wrote rigid I guess I meant that there’s a certain expectation of what you might find on a Haunted or Feared album that simply doesn’t exist in a project such as this. Again, hope it makes sense. Am literally responding as I climb into bed. Good night. EDIT: and I did say ‘more rigid’ not simply rigid. As in, the opposite of that is he has more flexibility with the solo album than he’d have in The Haunted or Feared.
there is a growl in the guitars that screams Keith merrow on the production side of things ola'..he didn't happen to have his mitts on the production side of things did he..i know you are very proficient at all that your self..but there is just something there...this track was awesome..absolutely sounded amazing..the mix was just stellar bro.for sure going in my library.wish you the best with your new home.there always a challenge to get back to your comfort zone when you have to start over in a new space with a home studio.keep doing you bro it is working!!!
Funny you say that, because I said to myself almost immediately while listening to this song that it sounds like he's been hanging out with Keith Merrow again, lol.
Cerberus had 3 heads, confirmed Ola is doing G3 next year with Vai and Satch. Seriously though this is great. In all honesty I was going to pass because although I appreciate solo guitarist albums as a guitarist myself I usually just find them widdely wank fests. The riffs are legit with this. I became a member last week to support you but you may convince me to buy all your things now
Love the song man! Some elements reminds me of "From skin to liquid" from the boys at Cannibal Corpse which is one of my fave instrumental songs.. You've done well my friend.
Fantastic Ola. Your moving to the top of the heap. This appears to be intelligently put together and overall very impressive. Its time buy the album and a black and red Ola Tee shirt. . I look forward to NAMM next year so I can buy a Solar autographed guitar. Cheers Ola, from Wisconsin and good luck with the new beautiful home !!
Wow, this is very Dream Theater like. Excellent tones, feel and progression with alot of emotion and flavor. I LOVE it. I also love the kitty, he one specially little pudy tat.
I love Guitar Instrumental albums of the likes of Steve Vai, Marty Friedman, Paul Gilbert etc. I love what you're doing, both in terms of melody, construction and atmosphere building. But the one thing you have that makes you special is the heavy riffing. Your riffs are just savage. It's Viking sh*t.
Am I the only one who finds the solo at 02:46 a little bit Petrucci-ish. it really showed the Melody side of you Ola, the whole song did. Amazing, simply amazing.!
Absolutely Beautiful my friend! Very diverse. These first two songs have kicked my ass. Two uppercuts to my soul. I love it that you have stepped outside of the norm and have opened up to your creativity.
This is great man! I just wanted to say I really enjoy your content, specifically your gear reviews! Keep it up, keep making tunes and being a decent dude! Cheers from Canada!
Me tinking: Run! and catch the headphones NOOOOWW !!! 🤘 It is so soft, and so distorted at the same time. How is that possible? Ola Englund ... the distorterererrr
I love this! It keeps evolving into interesting things and changes constantly. Beautiful tones in the clean parts and brutal tones in the heavy passages. Very inspirational work all around! Bravo!!!
ABSOLUTE FAN OF THIS SONG. As soon as I heard this for the first time, it just smacked me in the face; it just hits you in the face with its aggression! I'm also a big ambient guy, and this has that also!
Heard this and have now bought the album. Looking forward to the rest of the songs. Take care, and ignore the haters you work very hard to get where you are and deserve the success.
FRKN FANTASTIC OLA! I told you the other day that receiving my Ola Englund tshirt was one of the three greatest events of my life (marriage, childrens births, tshirt) well, now I can jam your new album while getting married, delivering my kids, & wearing my tshirt. Lol! Truly awesome songs, can't wait for all of them!!
Holy Shit Ola!! I've been under a rock for a while, so this is my first listen. You know it's good when you enjoy a song on your first listen. Keep it up man!

This album should be called Feared Theater by Ola Petrucci
the fek?
Hahaha awesome, excellent comment
no way Petrucci is better!!
Is this joke related to DT last album somehow? Cause i don't get it, sorry.
@@nikolaybelyaev9311 Fear Factory style riffs, Dream Theater lead à la SFAM by Ola.
This is a nice little ride - both chill and hardcore. I appreciate the dynamics!
And nice job by Delta annunciating the picking patterns.
This is going to be one hell of an album, Ola!
This song never gets old! Love it!
I remember You played this song in your "Randall Satan 50W, coming Q2 - 2018" video and I really like it since then. And now this song is even better!
That part starting at 2:46 ist just amazing, the resolution et the end of that part is incredibly beautiful, fantastic work!

Ikr, when the heavy part kicked in i thought: "man this brings me those conquering dystopia vibes"
Accidentally hit thumbs down.. My bad! I do feel a Keith Merrow/Gru feel
The tone the tone. Ola is one of the kings of tone.
I liked pizza hawaii but it wasn't enough to buy the album.
Now after this one I can preorder the album.
That just sent me on an emotional roller coaster..... WTF, Ola?! Just AWESOME...........

Ola is the modern metal musician we all need.
Love the song man! Some elements reminds me of "From skin to liquid" from the boys at Cannibal Corpse which is one of my fave instrumental songs.. You've done well my friend.
Really great, I really like the mix of the more calm stuff with gojira like riffs, also beautiful cover.
Ola, this is something to be proud of. Excellent work!!!
You’re song writing skills have improved so much over the years brotha. Awesome riffs as always.
Man, this is beautiful AND brutal. Nice work!
Tap harmonic on solo beginning AND end? Truly the alpha and omega....love it, Ola!
Ahh!!! I was waiting for this song since your Lewitt microphones review! Absolute masterpiece! 🤘🤘🤘
