Marty Friedman Announces U.S. Tour with Scale the Summit and The Fine Constant

Are you a fan of delightfully dorky, profoundly proggy instrumental metal? Well then, boy oh boy, do we have a tour for you! Marty Friedman — inarguably one of the finest guitarists in the history of metal — will headline in support of his new album, Wall of Sound; Scale the Summit and The Fine Constant will open. This will be an evening full of top-notch musicianship, the kind of playing that makes you realize you’ve wasted your life socializing and going out in public when you should have been alone practicing for hours and hours; it will also be an evening free of LSD (Lead Singer’s Disease). I don’t see any drawbacks on this bill.
