Seree Lee is a super guitar shredder from Thailand, whose latest CD Variation-A is being distributed by Lion Music, a label that is no stranger to six-string talent. Considering that this is Lee's debut release, there's a good chance that he's going to get a lot of attention after folks hear what he has to say on this intense fretboard burner. This guy has loads of crazy chops, but can also back that up with the ability to write some catchy melodies as well. Sure, the Van Halen/Vai/Satriani comparisons will be made when listening to songs like "Tough Guy", "Stumble", and "Wicked Hacker", but Lee has a distinct vision and tone which sets him apart from many of the other young axe slingers on the scene. Listen to his ballsy groove 'n' chunk on the tasty "High Energy", the memorable melody to "Sophia", the complex yet twisted "Crazy Town", and the intensely heavy prog-metal of "Solar System", where he almost pulls a Zakk Wylde impression out of his hat. Add in a bit of Asian feel to some of the songs, and you have a very impressive debut that gives the listener much more than just chops and wankery. There's a new gun slinger in town folks, and his name is Seree Lee. Remember it.
