    👆 Jeff Loomis and Keith Merrow recently came to visit Andertons Music to talk about their signature guitars from Schecter and their latest project Conquering Dystopia. We grabbed a few hours with them at Empire Studios in Guildford and were blown away be their amazing playing and how lightly they travelled on this current tour.
    Check out the links below for some of the gear that they used in this video.

    Love Keih and Jeff! Had the pleasure of witnessing Jeff play live with blood gushing from his forehead around 10 years ago @ a Sydney Nevermore concert. It was in a little pub, so the guys jumped off the stage and moshed with us, Jeff's head came in contact with someone elses. But he just kept on shredding without missing a beat!!!!

    Keith Merrow, man. Jeff Loomis is an amazing shredder and very knowledgeable, but I feel like Keith is the gem in the band. When they stand side by side everyone just glues to Jeff and I feel bad. I've been following Keith for years on RUclips and to this day he is my absolute favorite Guitarist/Composer out there. I'm so glad he's getting his own signature Schecter Guitars because that, in a sense was an award for his vast amounts of effort and hard work. KEITH. FUCKING. ROCKS.

    I am torn. To be honest, I am a classic metal guy. Think Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Primal Fear, Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Dio, and that vein of metal, where the song structure is 4/4 tempo, a slow intro, verse, chorus, solo, bridge, outro...you know what I mean. This is a whole new type of metal that I am having to get used to. I can't even tell you what the time signature is. Very melodic and very unorthodox rhythm patterns...I like it, and I love these two guitarist, but it's taking me a while to get with this style of metal. What I need to do is download it, burn it to a disk and put it in my car stereo so I can just let it sink into my fabric. Cause I want to be there!
