About Me

“SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION: MEGADETH FOR CELLO” salutes the state-of-the-art metal band Megadeth by reinventing passionate tracks of Mustaine-music through the intense and beautiful sound of the cello. The new album resurrects Megadeth classics like Symphony of Destruction and Train of Consequences, redefining them for cello. Thick power chords resonate through the opening of Skin O’ My Teeth while lush harmonies permeate the chorus of Addicted to Chaos and A Toute Le Monde. Speeding riffs and blistering solos reign during Hangar 18, while deep emotions are summoned during Forclosure of a Dream. Arranged, produced and performed solely by cellist Loren Westbrook-Fritts, “SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION: MEGADETH FOR CELLO” is passionately driven and uncompromising in its intentions to bring to life Megadeth through the unique voice of the cello.
