LaughingSkull started playing violin at 7 to annoy his parents who wanted him to play piano. After a year he switched to classical guitar, but quickly become frustrated because the knowledge of Bach did not allow him to play rock. After an unsuccessful attempt to become a self taught rock player, he put a guitar on a shelf and leave her be. Twenty years later we find him as bitter and disillusioned scientist, on the verge of middle age, stricken with Lyme disease. Guitar comes back from the shelf again. Determined to learn to improvise, he started from scratch again. Thus in 2005 project LaughingSkull is born, meant to be nothing more than a passionate past time. Compositions matured in time and his signature fusion of goth/doom metal and progressive rock/fusion emerged from improvisation sessions with computer. First songs were put on the web to be reviewed by peers. Surprised by the positive reviews, he increased his involvement into composition and playing and was soon after rewarded by a letter from independent label. In 2009 he signed to AMAdea records and his debut 'Labyrinths Of The Soul' was released.
 
Press Quotes

The short description of this album would be that it's one of the promising guitar-focused albums that feature cool bass work and powerful drumming. The music explores and endless terrain of guitar emotions and the compositions are extremely full. It's a great culmination of a decade that pushed the limits of guitar. Be prepared this album isn’t a metal music, it’s a guitar album with a wide range of effects and sounds that are radiant to the ears. Songs like “Early Frost”, “Comfortable in Hell”, “Burden”, “Residual Madness” and “Never Again” are great fairly straight forward rock masterpieces that have that Steve Vai touch.

The songs are ordered quite well and this makes the album quite nice to listen to all the way through. It's hard to pick a favorite song. "Never Again" is our choice because it showcases his distinctive sound.

Any guitar connoisseur owes it to themselves to check this album out and you'll be amazed that there was work like this that you didn't know about. We HIGHLY recommend “Labyrinths Of The Soul” for any fan of rock, metal, blues, psychedelic, jazz, or simply put the GUITAR. GET IT NOW!!!
