Today, we've teamed up with former Falling in Reverse and current Cry Venom guitarist (and Guitar World columnist to boot!) Jacky Vincent to premiere the playthrough video for his brand-new song, "Awakener."
"Awakener"—which Vincent runs through in its entirety in the video above—is taken from Life Imitating Art, Vincent's first solo album in five years. It's the follow-up to Star X Speed Story, which finished 3rd in the 'Best Shred Album of the Year' category of Guitar World's 2013 Readers' Poll.
"I had a blast crossing metal, electronic, neo-classical and fusion styles all into one track," Vincent told Guitar World. "Share/repost this track, tag all your friends and crank it up!"
Life Imitating Art is set to be released this September. You can preorder it right here.
