    The Highly anticipated 9th album of impeccable instrumental Heavy Metal from the US Guitar virtuoso!

    TOBY KNAPP is an internationally renowned American guitar virtuoso schooled in the metal finger-picking styles of Uli Jon Roth and Yngwie Malmsteen. He was just 18 when he signed with the esteemed metal label Shrapnel Records in 1992, and continues to have a productive and prolific career in rock and Heavy Metal! TOBY KNAPP has since released over 22 albums under his own name and with his many bands, including Onward, Toby Knapp, Waxen, Where Evil Follows, Necrytis, Affliktor & Darken. KNAPP is also a full time guitar teacher & session studio and live musician for many world class national artists including Attila Csihar (Mayhem), Godless Rising, Fetid Zombie, Abhor & others, With both feet firmly planted in both progressive Metal as well as Thrash and death metal, he has given nods to the legends of heavy metal while blazing his own electrifying trail.

    TOBY KNAPP now returns with his 9th solo album “Transmission to Purgatory”, featuring 8 tracks of unique & patented soaring melodies, searing guitar solos and most importantly solid song crafting with stunning songs! An astounding slab of pure instrumental Hard Rock and Heavy Metal destined to revive and reinvigorate the genre for the 21st century! “Transmission to Purgatory” is a guitar driven instrumental Heavy Metal epic full of killer riffs and searing guitar solos.
