Lord Of The Strings

If screaming guitars are your thing, Joe Stump is very much in his element on Lord of the Strings, due on Silver Lining Music on October 16th, 2026. The Professor of Shred goes full tilt here, delivering a 12-track instrumental set packed with speed, melody and serious heavy metal intent.

There’s the all-out charge of Full Throttle, the classic melodic metal feel of Playing with Fire, and more lyrical guitar storytelling on In the Hall of the King and Eternity of Darkness. Stump also makes room for acoustic reflection on Den of Vipers and Leipzig 1722, but this is, overall, a relentless beast.

As Joe Stump puts it, Lord of the Strings is “a heavy metal guitar orgy”.
