notes

I am proud to present my newest CD "Apollo!" This CD is a compilation of the best instrumental fusion/metal music I composed in 2005 and 2006, and has recieved praise from people all over the world! I hope you enjoy listening to the samples, and consider purchasing it.

Here is some information about me:
"Ben Levin is a guitarist from St. Louis who specializes in the composition and performance of instrumental metal and fusion music. Influenced by Steve Vai, Jeff Beck, John Mclaughlin and a plethora of other artists, Ben seeks to create diverse and interesting music that will appeal to a broad range of musical interests. After training at The Berklee College of Music during the summer of 2005, Ben began composing his latest CD, “Apollo,” which is considered his greatest work thus far. “Apollo” has a rich blend of styles ranging from heavy metal, to funk, to neoclassical, to world, to blues. All of the instruments on the album are played by Ben, and he sings on the two vocal tracks as well. Some highlights of the album include the sparse and catchy phrasing in “Ozone Blues,” the hypnotic rhythmic melodies of “Europa,” the vocal-like melodies of “In Blood,” and the soothing counterpoint in “Dream Sequence.” This album is a must have for all guitar-fanatics and lovers of instrumental music."

Recent Air-Play:
Music from Apollo recently appeared on Fame Games Radio at meermusic.com in October.

Tracks also appeared on the "For the Love of Guitar" Radio Show in Romania.

    this cd, being fully written, performed, and recorded by ben levin himself, is amazing to say the least. the genre being a blend between prog metal, fusion, and steve-vai-esque virtuoso rock, any of the tracks are far from cliche. ben plays on a whole new level, nailing the fast-paced shredding and sweeps, while putting incredible amounts of soul into the legato long notes of the riffs and solos. all the steve-vai style bends and licks, combined with ben's own solo style and style of writing make this cd packed with well-written, epic music that covers a range of styles. a one word summary: badass!

    Ben's music is like m&m's that melt in your ears instead of your mouth, leaving your ears feeling warm and gooey inside. Coincidentaly, it is also highly adictive and causes ear infections....which also makes it similar to injecting morphine into your ear canal.
