If you thought that Canadian rock started and ended with Rush, Saga or Triumph, think again. Canadian guitar virtuoso, Dave Martone is a force to be reckoned with. He has recorded several excellent albums with influences which range from straight ahead rock and progressive metal to more experimental tones. When The Aliens Come is 13 tracks full of crunching guitars with the song writing emphasis on maintaining an element of the future. Dave comments, "My goal was, first off, to complete it. I did a DVD in the middle and that took some time. The main concept of the album is trying to envision what music of the future might be. Trying to imagine that I could hop in some alien space ship 400 years from now and see what was playing on their I-pod equivalent!" Dave used everyday life as inspiration for the album, "There are so many things we go through on a day to day basis. Being able to capture them sonically is quite challenging. Sometimes it is quite easy." When The Aliens Come showcases what the guitar is capable of in the right hands in 2007 and may just show where the guitar is heading in the future.
