A Track-by-Track Preview 🎧
1. Doctor Nitro ⚡
Fast, furious, and packed with neoclassical undertones, this opener is a shred lover’s dream. Blistering alternate-picked runs collide with cinematic riffs, setting the tone for the EP’s high-octane chaos.
2. Doctor Octane 🚀
A fusion-tinged hard rock/metal hybrid that threads jazz-inspired phrasing into heavy grooves. Nate’s phrasing moves effortlessly between scales, giving listeners a tour of controlled chaos.
3. Neuro Cascade 🌊
Inspired by the atmospheric vibe of Eddie Van Halen’s “Little Guitars,” this track showcases Nate’s echo-delay mastery. Rippling harmonics and cascading arpeggios create an immersive, almost hypnotic sonic experience.
