Marty Friedman has debuted an audio stream of a new track titled “Sorrow And Madness”, which features a guest spot by Black Veil Brides guitarist Jinxx on violin. Friedman comments:

“This song is a good barometer for the record. I’m hugely into big contrasts, and there’s nothing subtle in what we’ve done with “Sorrow And Madness’. It expands both of us-it’s something that people won’t expect, and it made us both grow so much. I’m so proud of what we’ve done on this song.”

Jinxx adds:

“Let’s just say that Marty took a little violin melody I wrote and moved it to another level… to outer space! One day I sent him my idea, and three days later he replied with his take on it, and it blew my mind! If you’ve ever seen the movie Amadeus, it was like when Mozart sits down at the piano and plays Salieri’s little ditty! It was amazing to listen to!”

Friedman’s new full-length Wall OfSound is slated for release August 2nd on Prosthetic Records. Pre-order your copy on physical or digital formats (or both) here.
