VITALIJ KUPRIJ VK3 DOWNLOAD

Given the track name, it's probably written about romance or some other crap subject that doesn't belong in the realm of neo-classical shred metal. This being the solo project of a keyboardist, you might expect there to be no chance for the guitarist to shine, but trust me, there is plenty of guitar shredding on this album. The guitar on this album is also of note. Also like the two previous albums, this one is completely instrumental. He breaks up the monotony of his playing by using different keyboard tones in his shredding; sometimes it's the expected synth, sometimes it's piano, sometimes it's rock organ.

There is less emphasis on traditional neo-classical song structures and more emphasis on syncopations and other rhythmical vk. The riffs give a definite metal feel on most parts of the album, but often the songs slip into ballad-like slower sections perhaps too often for my tastes.

The guitar on this album is also of note. The songs do a good job of keeping you engaged without lyrics, and the addition of a vocalist would just cover up the main emphasis of this album, which is the keyboardist what else?

Vitalij Kuprij "VK3"

He's not heard specifically unless you're actively tryingbut if he were missing his presence would be sorely missed. This being the solo project of a keyboardist, you might expect there to be no chance for the guitarist to shine, but trust me, there is plenty of guitar shredding on this album.

Don't let that turn you off though; they are definitely skilled enough to work with the virtuosos that dominate the album. As I said earlier, the main emphasis of this album is the finger-wizardry of Vitalij Kuprij, who is undoubtedly one of the best metal keyboardists out viyalij. I think more use of strings as something other than a background instrument for outlining chord progressions would help this album quite a bit, but it's still vitali the way it is.

Write your own review. There is one exception to this, which I will talk more about later. Overall, this album is a must have for lovers of neo-classical metal with emphasis on virtuosity, or anybody with a fetish for keyboards.

The bassist hardly ever gets a chance to shine as far as I can recall, there might be one bass solo on this album, maximum. A lot of these songs would be completely worthless if every keyboard solo used the trademark synthesizer tone.

Best kuptij without Internet Explorer, in x resolution or higher. The song "Forever"is probably my least favorite track, simply because it has almost none of the blistering speed found on the other tracks. I absolutely recommend it. Bands alphabetical country genre Labels alphabetical country Reviews R. None of the songs on this album are weak.

But he does give a nice bottom end to the album and has some fairly intricate parts. Literally every song showcases Kuprij's talent with furious keyboard solos slathered all over the place. And Tony MacAlpine is not just some obscure guitarist picked out of nowhere.

Not anything that takes a ridiculous amount of talent, but this drummer is obviously no amateur. My personal belief is that vocals would completely ruin this album. This one differs in that it feels more like a progressive metal album than the previous two. He is very Malmsteen-inspired, and this album is perfect for that style. Somewhat surprisingly, there isn't much focus on creating an orchestral atmosphere on viralij album, even though it is very neo-classical.

Also like the two previous albums, this one is completely instrumental.

Given that it's an instrumental, the same six minutes of slow playing and sultry melodies gets a little tiring although there is vutalij keyboard solo near the end that helps. The solos are blazing fast and never sloppy or out of tune. It's good to have a few slower sections to let your ears recover from the beating they receive during the rest viralij the album, though, and usually these slower sections don't last for too long before you get back to the face-melting assault of MacAlpine and Kuprij.

VK3 is Vitalij Kuprij's third solo album get it!?

He breaks up the monotony of his playing by using different keyboard tones in his shredding; sometimes it's the expected synth, sometimes it's piano, sometimes it's rock organ. Besides, Vitalij is probably not the most masterful English speaker, so any lyrics he could come up with would not be very good in terms of either depth or grammar. The riffs he plays are also really good, but they don't get much attention as usually the keyboard is on top.

With vocals, this song would not be out of place on a rock album.
