What
style of music does guitarist Tom Kopyto play? "My music
is one part 21st century metal riffing that will make you bang
your head and one part late 80's/early 90's instrumental melodic
shred guitar that's played extremely fast waaay up on the tiny
strings," explains Tom. "It kinda sounds like 'chug,
chug, chug....wheedly, wheedly, wheedly, weeee.'"
