Paul Gilbert has announced his 16th solo studio album, Werewolves Of Portland.
Recorded at Opal Studio in Portland with co-producer and engineer Kevin Hahn, the album is set for a June 4 release via The Players Club. Notably, it features Gilbert – who didn't want to wait until the end of the COVID-19 pandemic to record the album – on every single instrument.
You can check out the amusing animated video for the album's lead single, "Argument About Pie," below.
As for the gear he used for the album, Gilbert said "I mostly used my Ibanez Fireman guitars. I've been collecting vintage Ibanez guitars lately, too.
"I brought some models from the '70s, '80s, and '90s like the Ibanez Artist, Roadstar II, and Ghostrider. I also brought and modified a '60s Epiphone Olympic. I used to play those in the early days of Racer X, so it was fun to have a guitar that reminded me of my early shredder style."
