Project Steiger - Defiance (2004/Steiger Productions)
Rating - 8.1

Neutron Flux--mp3

Project Steiger is headed by guitarist Ken Steiger, and includes a number of guests. On this offering, notables such as Derek Sherinian, Gary Hoey, and Tony Franklin lend their talents. This is nasty instrumental music, with tons of guitar chops, some keys, fast drums -- the works. All fans of guitar metal should enjoy this, as there are plenty of both lead runs and nice rhythms.
Some of the stronger cuts include "Rock-It," "KT Boundary Event," and the light-to-grinding "Neutron Flux." Others which stand out are "Prince of Souls," "Run 4 Cover," "Vertical Integration," "Persuasion," and "Anti-Gone."
This is Steiger’s first "official" release, it appears. He's had several others available via his website, but those earlier demo efforts are mostly out of print. ‘Defiance’ can still be found via Guitar9, Amazon, and a few other outlets.

TRACK LIST: Prince of Souls/Rock-It/Run 4 Cover/Vertical Integration (V.I.)/Child of the Storm/Neutron Flux/Edge of Forever/KT Boundary Event/Persuasion/Anti-Gone/Here Comes the Heroes
