‘Infinite Horizons’ offers the first announced track from Pyramids, the debut instrumental solo album by GABRIEL LEJEUNE. The song is available through Shadow Kingdom Records’ Bandcamp, where the announcement also directs listeners to album preorders.
Shadow Kingdom Records announced October 30 as the international release date for Pyramids, with CD and vinyl LP editions. The eight-track record places the lead guitarist and songwriter for Louisiana’s VOID in an entirely instrumental setting.
LEJEUNE’s solo debut follows VOID’s Forbidden Morals, released through Shadow Kingdom and described in the announcement as the band’s release from the previous year. The supplied album introduction connects VOID’s technical thrash sound to FORBIDDEN, TOXIK and ANNIHILATOR, then frames Pyramids around the exploration of those elements without vocals.
The announcement also draws comparisons to early YNGWIE MALMSTEEN and the Shrapnel Records era of shred guitar. Its description emphasizes intricate song structures, tempo changes and shifts in dynamics, with expressive lead guitar carrying the instrumental material and a range of emotional and textural approaches.
