Former EVILE lead guitarist Ol Drake will release his debut solo album, “Old Rake“, on June 22 in Europe and June 23 in the USA.

The CD features instrumental guitar encompassing a myriad of styles, including flat-out shredding, classical, progressive, melodic and acoustic.

The first track, “Guitarists Playing Guitars” showcases the six-string shredder’s phenomenal fretwork and features special guest appearances from the likes of Gary Holt (EXODUS, SLAYER), James Murphy (DEATH, TESTAMENT, OBITUARY) and Josh Middleton (SYLOSIS).

Also featured is sticksman Mike Heller (FEAR FACTORY, MALIGNANCY), who performs drums on the entire album.

“Old Rake” was recorded at the guitarist’s home studio and was mixed with producer and former DEATH, TESTAMENT and OBITUARY guitarist James Murphy.
