Joe Satriani - Shockwave Supernova (2015)

Recently, during the final performance of his two-year Unstoppable Momentum tour, Satriani had an epiphany; he found himself, ""playing the guitar with my teeth an awful lot. I thought, 'Why are you doing this?' It's as if something else, or somebody else, was driving me to do it."" Satriani seized upon this moment of self-realization as the springboard and creative centre for his alter ego ""Shockwave Supernova,"" the outlandish and extroverted 'performance side' of the normally shy and reserved guitar virtuoso. With this new persona as partner, Satriani launched his wildly ambitious 15th solo album, Shockwave Supernova.

Recorded late last year at Skywalker Sound in Lucas Valley, California, Satriani assembled the dynamic trio of world-class musicians who had recently been part of his global tour; renowned keyboardist and guitarist Mike Keneally, a veteran of several Satch outings and recordings; along with drumming whiz Marco Minnemann and bass extraordinaire Bryan Beller. ""I couldn't have asked for a better band to help bring these songs to life,"" says Satriani.
