Weekend Warrior

"First solo album by the exceptional guitarist as a CD in a digipack on A1 RECORDS! A member of bands and projects such as SINNER, PRIMAL FEAR, VOODOO CIRCLE, SILENT FORCE and ROCK MEETS CLASSIC, ALEX BEYRODT is one of the busiest guitarists on the rock/metal scene. The sheer lack of time is probably one of the reasons why ALEX BEYRODT, who has been on stage with ALICE COOPER, GLENN HUGHES, STEVE LUKATHER, IAN GILLAN and PAUL RODGERS, to name just a few, has so far in his more than 30-year career never appeared as a solo artist. Slowed down by the pandemic, like all colleagues from the cultural industry, the WEEKEND WARRIORS and usually at home everywhere, but never at home, BEYRODT used the forced break as an opportunity to go into himself and fully engage with his guitar and his music. The result is now in the form of his first solo album; and in ALEX BEYRODT's case solo is actually to be understood in the literal sense, because the native of Saarland wrote, recorded, produced and also played all the instruments himself over WEEKEND WARRIOR. And if this already shows the class and the versatility of BEYRODT, the realization that Weekend Warrior contrary to all clichés is no ordinary shredder disc provides the final proof that it was high time for this album. ALEX BEYRODT masterfully knows how to paint pictures with his music and let his guitar speak for him, which is why the 11 songs on WEEKEND WARRIOR do without any vocals at all. The song titles are enough, the rest is done by ALEX's guitar playing and the listener's imagination."
