Lion Music / Bertus

Well, believe me when I say Outworld is an upcoming highlight. Why? Because these guys are brilliant, nothing more, nothing less. I’ve told these guys my honest opinion about them and they did send me immediately the solo album from guitarist Rusty Cooley. Very nice of them but the news became much better when I did hear the album. Rusty Cooley plays 10 instrumental song, from a very, yes very high level. As a matter of fact he plays a 7-string guitar. He’s influenced by a lot of great guitar players with a lot of skills. The emotions and the speed of playing are really impressive. The songs are varied and combined with beautiful keyboards and acoustic parts. On the last two songs Kelly Carpenter joins the band. Who’s Kelly Carpenter? Well, he’s the singer from Outworld and the new Beyond Twilight singer and they will surprise you in 2005!
