Julien Carayon's world is instrumental music, a world with no border as he plays no specific music style in mind...only what He gets with his instrument matter... He has almost ten years of guitar playing in his fingers. He's 99% self-taught (the remaining 1% is the very few instructional books he has bought so far). Julien Carayon trys to cultivate his own style, composing "non-80's-style-shred music" and avoiding cliché.

"Lethal Alchemy" is the thunderous debut album from the young talented guitar player Julien Carayon, who were inspired by icons such as "Dream Theater", "Liquid Tension Experiment", "Planet X", "Steve Vai", "Joe Satriani", "Pat Metheny", "Jimmy Hendrix"...   

He knows how to capture the real essence of guitar sounds, with a variety of musical techniques, showing a high degree of creativity and sensitivity, creating atmospheric songs with an epic instrumentation. So the instrumental is very progressive and very intense also, very heavy with a spirit of metal, adding symphonic elements such as an orchestra, something like an "Epic Symphonic Progressive Rock Metal".
   
"Lethal Alchemy" has a big sound with a sense of adventure, while making our ears stand up. All music by Julien Carayon. There are no words to best describe the seven tracks on the album, but listen "Welcome to My Nightmare", "Parallel Dimension", "The Good and Evil Sides of Men", "Azur", "Angry God" and "Dark Jazz Song" and of course you will understand what I really want to say.   

Julien Carayon plays all Guitars, Programming, using Ibanez Guitar, Dean Markley strings and Dunlop Picks. For future music project, Julien Carayon is going to form a band to play an amazing Progressive Music.   

Brilliant and indispensable work, highly recommendable...
