STYLE: INSTRUMENTAL ROCK, HEAVY ROCK
Description: 8 Bullets has heavy and soft, sad and joyful moments. It's like "Alice in Chains meets Joe Satriani". 8 Bullets is never dull, never boring and never annoying. 8 modern Rock songs that follow the unexpected and adventurous route rather than the theory/technical route.
Focus: Structure, riffs, melody, attitude and mood.
The 8 Bullets Story: "8 Bullets is a concept album, it tells a story.
Each one of the bullets represents a life experience that triggered the writing of each track.
I was hit by every one of these life experiences like (metaphorically) bullets; they hit and they hurt.
I survived bleeding by transforming my pain into songs. Music is my cure."
(Patrick Vega)
REVIEWS
"Patrick Vega’s ’8 Bullets,’ kicks so much ass. Heavy drums, amazing guitar tones, cool panning effects – as soon as you step through the door into this album, there’s no turning back! "
-guitarfans.net, Guitarfans.net
"8 Bullets is not a pretentious album by any stretch of the imagination, it holds your attention throughout. What we have here is a guitarist who can ply his trade and entertain at the same time. Patrick Vega is going to be a name to be reckoned with if he continues to produce work of this quality."
-JOHN O'BOYLE, DPRP Dutch Progressive Rock Page
"It’s (8Bullets) a combination that invites repeated listenings – you can focus on the songs, or the phrasing, or the tones, or the production, and take something new and cool away with you each time."
-Peter Hodgson, Iheartguitarblog
