Environmental destruction , angry love songs, music industry diatribes, lonely road trips, rants against the man, and just general angst--these are the themes of Alien Guitar Abduction's latest release, "My Beliefs". Led by master guitarist Stan Rose, a former student of John Petrucci (Dream Theater), Deserate Times is old school metal with a modern twist, Much of the angst in the album is directed at frontman Stan Rose's now wife, who eventually decided marriage was his only hope to cure him of his insanity. "My Beliefs" features session work from some of the world's best musicians, including singers Chandler Mogel (Outloud) and Chris Clancy (Mutiny Within, Wearing Scars) and drummers Nate Barnes and Jason Bittner (Anthrax, Shadow's Fall).
As with previous albums, all songs have an accompanying music video, found at: http://vimeo.com/stanrose

The heavy metal sounds of Alien Guitar Abduction derive from Stan Rose's early musical influences such as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, refined by later bands such as Metallica and Dream Theater, and older school speed/dark metal such as Sepultura.
Have aliens abducted Stan Rose's guitar, or is his guitar the abductor? Rose isn't sure, although the strangeness of his musical tastes suggest the former. The only thing certain, as verified by Google, is that there is only one Alien Guitar Abduction!
