"Emperor Guillotine" is a debut album by Emperor Guillotine, a project fully managed by Dallas, Texas native Ben Randolph. The self-titled debut is a glorious homage to the heavy metal crunch, all the way keeping the prog sensibilities in mind. "Emperor Guillotine" is an instrumental album heavily inspired by Black Sabbath - Tony Iommi in particular. The synths can be heard throughout the record, but they are subdued in exchange for a rekindled devotion the almighty riff.
"Sea of Dust," "Witch Mountain" and "The Bastille" are all powerful, rock- oriented songs driven by thick riff mastery. "The Unearthly" is a step above in terms of its sophistication, fitting in crunchy guitars with quite a few unsettling spots.
"Emperor Guillotine" is a record worth giving a try for everyone who enjoys organic heavy metal / hard rock sound, and I am sure that there are people who still appreciate this over hyper-tight computerised albums.

Emperor Guillotine is super talented. Based on Johhny Sokko and His Flying Robot and the compilation movie Voyage Into Space, it's vintage nostalgia. Emperor Guillotine is an imposing, awe inspiring character. It's like a combination of an octopus and Darth Vader. He carries a scepter in his hand. Giant Robot and Johhny Sokko defend the world against an army of monsters and aliens. One of the most beloved Japanese monster series. I love it.
