Guitar Shredder MATT CHANWAY Shares Playthrough Video For Single ‘The Beyond’
A finalist of Guitar Idol, the world’s foremost guitar competition showcasing the top emerging players on the planet along with holding a fellowship in music performance from the University of West London, instrumental guitar shredder Matt Chanway returns with his new single ‘The Beyond’, which is one of four planned tracks to be released in the second half of 2019. As a Canadian guitarist, instructor, and session musician from Vancouver BC, Chanway’s single ‘The Beyond’ follows his critically acclaimed debut self-titled album released in 2016.
Chanway’s playing is inspired by a combination of the old and new school, with rock guitar players from the ’80s, modern progressive “shredders” such as Dan Mongrain and Jeff Loomis, as well as 70’s jazz-rock musicians John Mahavishnu and Al Di Meola. Fans of challenging, progressive, intense instrumental music artists such as Alluvial, Tony Macalpine, Martyr, Vitalism will enjoy Chanway’s music.
Chanway adds:
“Unlike my debut album that was a compilation of material written from 2008-2016, ‘The Beyond’ is the first of brand new instrumental music I have written from scratch. I chose the simple track title both as a representation of music, which pushes beyond my previous creative boundaries and of my own transformation in the past year from an aspiring shred guitar player to a full-time pro musician.”
Listen and watch to ‘The Beyond’ at the following link: https://youtu.be/iPqWB64OjVM
The single is also available on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music.

“You can hear the love of playing the guitar that emanates from the fingers of this extremely talented player with song after song of thrills and heavy shredding.” – Altered Frequencies
“This is not an album just for shredders, it’s for anyone who wants an album of great metal that will get your head banging and wear your air guitar out.” – The Ripple Effect
“Burstfire solos, frantic time signatures, complicated riffing and the like are all signposts of an artist who wants to see how far he can go. Unsurprisingly, this ambition pays off. The release could stand on its own as proof that Matt could play alongside the world’s greatest in shred guitar.” – Prog Sphere Magazine, February 2017
“The progressive metal genre never ceases to provide scores of insanely skilled guitar-slingers, and Vancouver’s Matt Chanway can now be recognized as another mind-blowing practitioner of the style.” – Guitar.com
“Ferocious, fast, and fucking awesome, Matt Chanway indeed has a scintillating skill that surely many would aspire to. His compositions are interesting, invigorating, intense, and inspiring: everything instrumental prog metal should be.” – Swept Media

“The guitar god’s name may not be familiar quite yet, but based on this display, it’s evident that Chanway is going to become one of the most recognized modern axe slingers. I dare you to take a listen to this record and not be in awe at the speed, precision, and cohesive spark that carries the record through.” – Lords of Dogwood”
“Released Christmas Day, Matt Chanway’s eponymous solo album is a showcase for his virtuosic guitar playing and intricate song crafting. The six song album is decidedly modern, never resting on its laurels however from time to time, echoes from those pioneers of thrash metal will sear through, keeping the album packed with adrenaline. Produced with the help of drum programmer Jacob Craner and bassist/engineer Stuart Hidalgo, this album will leave you wondering why you ever needed the barking and screeching of a vocalist in the first place.” – Music-News.com

GearGods Premiere Guitar Shredder Matt Chanway Playthrough Video “The Receiver of Wisdom”
Debut Self-Titled Album Out Now!
Guitar virtuoso Matt Chanway has made a name for himself with well-regarded Canadian death/thrash metal band Assimilation.
Last December, Chanway unleashed his self-titled solo debut album: a sonic masterpiece that merges the old and new school. Razor sharp riffs meld with soaring solos; progression with power. Inspired by the likes of George Lynch and Jeff Loomis, Chanway (who has a diploma in guitar performance from the University of West London) is the ideal guitar hero for the 21st century.
Describing his sound as “melodic, relentless, energetic progressive metal” and influenced by the likes of Nevermore, Circus Maximus, Tony Macalpine, Aghora and Revocation, Chanway explains that “initially this music was written for a progressive metal project called Chancellor in 2011. After leaving that band, I gradually morphed the tracks into instrumental tunes.”
Chanway reveals his writing process is always honest and organic. “I write all of the guitar parts, generally starting from one theme or motif and just continually building upon it, to create a flowing cohesive piece. Never forcing or rushing anything for the sake of releasing new music. The guitar themes are authentic; the riffs are catchy and addictive.”
Teaming up with GearGods.net, Chanway demonstrates his shredding skills with his new playthrough for his track “The Receiver of Wisdom” at the following link: http://geargods.net/playthrough/matt-chanway-the-receiver-of-wisdom-guitar-playthrough/
Chanway also states that this is also no studio project and is looking forward to playing his album live, promising “a very authentic recreation of some very challenging music, of course instrumental music is always a different ballgame in a live context. People tend to hone in on the guitar a lot more, and the unique voice it can bring as the band leader!”
Chanway is preparing to enter the studio with a brand new line-up to record his follow up EP set for release in early 2018.
Track Listing:
1. Evidence of the Arcane (6:22) (instrumental)
2. The Receiver of Wisdom (6:58) (instrumental)
3. Harbinger 2.1 (8:24) (instrumental)
4. 271114 (6:48) (instrumental)
5. Eyes In The Sky (5:48) (instrumental)

0 Manic Mosh Mag – #6 – Matt Chanway – S/T EP
All together, this one well balanced shred affair that moves somewhere in between the classic shred work of Tony Fredianelli and Toby Knapp whilst maintaining a sound that is very much Matt Chanway’s own. Strong.
