This is just the best damn Classical Music around: there is a definite Rock Guitar, Bass and Drums all alive and kicking out the jams.
Bio / Background
Higher Than Pope: Gustav's Guitars
Higher Than Pope are primarily a guitar band. Although much more prone to committing the usual heinous pop/rock sorts of guitar mischief, HTP pay homage to both Guitars and Gustav Mahler in this classic. This is not a classical guitar CD. This is a classical CD with rock guitar, bass and drums. This is classical music for rockers. This is classical music for electric guitar fans.
If you have ever wondered how some of your favorite classical music would sound if you changed some of the instruments in the symphony orchestra out as guitar, bass and drums, then this is your album. Gustav's Guitars is definitely more Mahler than Emerson, Lake and Palmer. HTP did not abandon the strings. They did add some amp. They also added some very delicious sounding acoustic guitars--massively moving electrics and the bass passages are truly tremendous and magic.
