Nita Strauss Releases “Into The Void”
Guitar virtuoso Nita Strauss has finally unveiled her long-awaited solo album, Into The Void, which hit the shelves on July 7th. This highly anticipated project features a stellar lineup of guest vocalists from renowned bands, including Motionless In White, Disturbed, Halestorm, Arch Enemy, and her longtime collaborator, Alice Cooper.
Celebrating Influential Guitarists
In a recent interview with Loudwire, Strauss shared her thoughts on some of the most influential guitarists of the past decade, highlighting their contributions to the music scene.
Angel Vivaldi: A Rising Star
First on her list is the talented Angel Vivaldi. Strauss expressed her admiration, stating, “I truly think Angel is one of the most exciting guitar players to watch and his diversity in style is mind-blowing. Plus, you can’t talk about Angel without mentioning the massive strides he’s making towards creating inclusivity in the guitar scene. He is one of the most exciting guitar players.”
Polyphia’s Game Changers
She also praised Tim Henson and Scott LePage from the progressive rock band Polyphia, emphasizing their “undeniable” impact on the guitar community. “What these two are doing for the world of guitar playing is absolutely undeniable. There aren’t a lot of people you can truly say are changing the game, and they are,” Strauss remarked.
A Nod to Marty Friedman
When discussing her new album, Strauss mentioned the esteemed Marty Friedman, former guitarist of Megadeth. She reflected on the experience, saying, “It was an honor for me as a musician and as a music fan. It’s not every day that you have an opportunity to have feedback and critique from somebody you respect so much.”
Production Techniques: Embracing the Digital Era
In her conversation, Strauss revealed that Into The Void was produced using VST plugins and digital equipment, a decision she stands by. “If I didn’t think it sounded as good, I would have redone it through real amps,” she explained. “I don’t think it would have made the record sound any better if I had re-amped later through an analogue machine.” Her confidence in digital production reflects a modern approach to music creation, blending technology with artistry.
Conclusion
Nita Strauss’s Into The Void not only showcases her extraordinary talent as a guitarist but also highlights her appreciation for the artists who influence her. With powerful collaborations and a modern production approach, her album is poised to make a significant impact in the music scene.
