It`s finally done!

Marty`s new album, “LOUDSPEAKER” is completed and will be released on the top label in Japan, AVEX on 6/28. Front cover pic is here: http://avexnet.or.jp/marty/news.html

Worldwide release to follow this fall.
Check here for more details related to the international release.

I have been a fan of Marty since “Dragon`s Kiss” and I can easily say that this is by far his most aggressive album yet and amazingly his playing continues to grow even more intense than ever.

It was also fun to hear guests Steve Vai, John Petrucci and Billy Sheehan play in such a heavy context.

Marty`s regular features as well as specials can be seen in this month`s:

FLASH!

ASCII

Burrn!

Guitar Magazine

Young Guitar

Saizo

Player

Shosetsu Subaru

More info in the Japanese site.

Thanks to all of you who sent pics from Marty`s performances at the C.A.L.M. EXPO in Peking. We will try to get them into the site as soon as possible!
