The song-oriented metal fest includes 8 tracks that explore the dark and macabre with catchy anthems, shred instrumentals, a blues track and power ballad. Amoriello is honored to be a part of the Shredguy Records
roster. Amoriello states that, “Shredguy is the modern day Sharpnel Records and the label owner Michael McDowell has promoted and discovered many talented six stringers exposing their stellar musicianship to the world as Mike Varney did in the 1980’s.” Amoriello is proud to have the Phantom Sounds compact disk released by Shredguy Records.
