A long-respected studio musician, touring hired gun and guitar
instructor, Patrick Hemer gained worldwide recognition at the dawn of
the 2000’s as the main man and fretboard
wizard of the German metal band Horizon with whom he recorded a few
cult albums, including the critically acclaimed “The Sky’s The Limit”
(Massacre Records - 2002) and the outstanding “Worlds Apart”
(Massacre/King - 2004) that received a warm welcome in Japan and earned
the right for Horizon to be labelled a “legendary band” by famous
magazine Burrn!.
Back to the world of recording studios for a
while after the untimely break-up of Horizon, Patrick collaborated in
numerous projects in a wide array of genres, started getting involved in
production, and also devoted himself more and more to teaching to
become an in-demand clinician maintaining strong contacts with the
guitar community.
But his deep, unwavering love for Metal music finally had to take over again…
Now teaming up with drummer extraordinaire Tom Wagner and keyboardist
David Casanova, he is fronting a new solo project meant to display his
best, but also heaviest, playing and songwriting to date.
His
current album, “More Than Meets the Eye” produced by Patrick himself, is
a perfect balance of huge 7-string guitar riffs, amazing vocal work and
his trademark out of this world soloing, all backed up by clever
arrangements and Tom Wagner’s brilliant drumming.
Combining a
broad spectrum of influences into a mature and focused personal style,
Patrick Hemer has created his own unique path, and he is proving today
with “More Than Meets the Eye” that he is not only a name for shred
guitar aficionados but also a complete musician and someone all the
world’s Progressive Metal maniacs can count on to keep the flame alive
and well…
