NASHVILLE, TN — The recording of the new Byron Nemeth single / video " You Know It's True " will begin July 12th, 2021 at Blackbird Studio Studio A in Nashville. Joining Byron in the recording are some of Nashville’s finest hard rock players. Zach Ballard / Drums, Luis Espaillat / Bass and Steve Braun / Vocals. Tim Dolbear from Eclectica Studios who has mixed records for Grammy winners and labels will be the Producer. The recording will be done the old-school way with all 4 members of the band tracking in the studio at the same time for optimum musical chemistry.

Blackbird Studio is one of the preeminent studios in the world founded by John McBride , and his wife country artist Martina McBride . The Blackbird complex includes nine studios and The Blackbird Academy a post-secondary audio engineering school. Video will be shot by Mark Allee who just finished a great drum video for Ray Luzier of Korn .

Nemeth recently released a performance video for the new instrumental song, “ Engines Of Thunder ”. Watch below.

Stylistically it’s a “Tip-Of-The-Hat” to the early Satriani and Hendrix vibe when there was strong emphasis on composition and lyrical soloing with catchy hooks and unique twists in the guitar.

“ Engines Of Thunder ” was recorded in Apple Logic Pro X with the Universal Audio Apollo Twin QUAD using only the UA Marshall JMP 2203 and Marshall Silver Jubilee 2555 plug-in’s for that amazing legendary Marshall sound. Guitar of choice is a hot rodded Jackson USA Signature Adrian Smith San Dimas Stratocaster with a EVH D-Tuna System and run thru a Morley DJ Ashba Skeleton Pedal for that classic Wah-Wah sound.

“Engines Of Thunder” is now live on all digital platforms, including Spotify .

Byron Nemeth , multi-instrumentalist and hard rock aficionado who has done tours and taken part in many stellar releases to date knew at a young age that music was his true calling. Upon hearing Elvis & The Beatles from his wonderful parents as a birthday music gift he turned his attention to learning guitar and studying the styles of Randy Rhoads, Michael Schenker, Jimmy Page, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Joe Perry plus jazz and classical music. Throughout his career Byron has opened for notable bands such as Metal Church, Doro Pesch, Warrant, Winger, RATT, Y&T, Dream Theater, Rick Emmett, Vicious Rumors, Helix, Keel, Yes, Zack Wylde/Black Label Society, Richie Kotzen, The Sweet, Lynch Mob, Pat Travers Band and many more.

By going on tour with various bands throughout the east coast Byron began exploring his personal guitar style with Sacred Heart, Amon-Ra, Prodigy , and Electro-Motive-Force . ' The Vision ' 1985 cassette by Sacred Heart reimagined version was recently made available on Spotify along with the 1992 Amon Ra release of In the Company of the Gods also available reimagined on streaming platforms.

In 1997 Byron studied jazz and classical music at the Cleveland State University which provided him the music education foundation needed to blend in with a variety of musical genres, he was shortly thereafter commissioned to perform as first guitar with Richard Henrickson ’s orchestrated Ozone Hour , a 90-minute Symphonic Rock Ballet with the Cleveland Chamber Orchestra and 33 dance performers.

SOLO CAREER

The cover represents a WWI gas mask as a metaphor for the perils of humanity, the fields represent the openness of human potential that comes from having The Force Within oneself to manifest anything.

2021
• ENGINES OF THUNDER

Byron Nemeth has just released a brand new video for the new instrumental “Engines Of Thunder.” Stylistically it’s a “Tip-Of-The-Hat” to the early Satriani and Hendrix vibe when there was strong emphasis on composition and lyrical soloing with amazing hooks and unique twists in the guitar playing.

• SUNSET AT THE MARQUIS

“The musical inspiration for this song came from my fascination with the C6 open tuning (C-A-C-G-C-E) that Jimmy Page used on Bron-Yr-Aur from Physical Graffiti . I applied this tuning to my acoustics for this type of Led Zeppelin vibe in the rhythm guitar. On the electric leads I wanted the harmony ideas that Michael Schenker and Brian May have used so all these influences were my muse. The song was mixed at Abbey Road Studios in London by engineer John Barrett on the SSL Duality Delta 24 Mixing Console, John did a superb job!” — Byron

• NASHVILLE

In May 2021 Byron Nemeth has relocated to Nashville to further pursue his Music Career to the next level in the Hard Rock / Metal genre.
