Rape Of The Earth (2 LP Yellow)

Discover for the very first time the remastered version of Rape Of The Earth, the second album by French guitar virtuoso Patrick Rondat. Originally released in 1991, this album marked a major turning point in the guitarist's career and in the evolution of French instrumental hard rock. With this record, Patrick Rondat pushed the boundaries of the genre, blending impressive technical skill with particularly striking melodicism.
