Debut album available now!

About Me

I'm 27, I've been playing the guitar for 10 years. Self-taught. Even though, I write rock/metal oriented songs, I don't write music to follow a specific genre. I just let the creative juice flow no matter what style of music I come up with.

Total running time 59:18 - All music by Julien Carayon - Playlist


I'm really proud to announce to all Myspace members that my debut album is out ! The album title is “Lethal Alchemy” I think this album is the best reflection of my style, both on songwriting and guitar playing. I think the writing of the album has been heavily influenced by artists and bands such as:

    Liquid Tension Experiment Planet X Joe Satriani Steve Vai Tony MacAlpine and many other bands & artists

As the reviews say, "Lethal Alchemy" mixes Rock, Metal, Prog and even Jazz showcasing Hard Rock in to one 59 minutes album! If you like guitar-oriented music, this album is for you ! I like to focus on song arrangement and instrumentation so I end up with complex songs, both musically and technically.
