Paul Wardingham The Human Affliction

Paul Wardingham is a guitarist and producer from Brisbane, Australia. He is well known for his shred guitar videos on Youtube. His style is a highly-involved, technical and catchy form of instrumental metal, backed by atmospheric synths.

His debut solo album, 'Assimilate Regenerate', was released to widespread acclaim. The upcoming release, announced in January 2012, has been delayed from a mid-2012 release.

On the album's style: "I would say it’s going to be darker, more progressive and more epic than Assimilate Regenerate, still with a heavy dose of melodic shred and ambient synth work like before." - Paul Wardingham

The Human Affliction is the brand new instrumental cyber metal concept album from critically acclaimed guitarist and producer Paul Wardingham.

“The Human Affliction is a continuation of the themes that inspired Assimilate Regenerate: The future, technology and it’s affect on humanity. More than that, it’s a soundtrack to a dystopian future. Set in a high-tech low-life world, where humanity is blissfully unaware of the dangers of technological progress and the rise of artificial intelligence.....until it is too late.

The Human Affliction is my vision of a this cyberpunk inspired landscape and post apocalyptic digital age where the listener can escape reality, amongst cyber metal grooves, cold atmospheric synths, futuristic electronica, emotional melodies and of course.... hi-tech shred guitar solos!” – Paul Wardingham
