Working in close collaboration with mastermind/creative madman Gautier Serre, guitarist Martyn Clément settled in for a exploratory run through of four of his standout riffs from the project' most recent opus, AMEN. 

Hailed for it's inventiveness, progressive construction and it's willingness to opush the boundaries of extreme music, the enormity of AMEN is a balance of experimentation and flawless execution. Asserting a level of expertise that speaks to the vision of Serre and the universe he has built, AMEN transcends genre, sourcing a myriad of influences and styles resulting in an ambitious undertaking that is as massive of as it is marvelous.

Slowing down the string work in a way that translates tutorial, the guitarist not only explains how each element is executed but how it builds from an idea to the finished product within the context of the song.
