Surgeon

Michael Harris is a workaholic guitarist, a la David Chastain (with whom he has recorded in the past), and Surgeon is one of several bands he has played in over the years, in addition to solo work. Encyclopedia Of The Insane features straightforward metal with excellent musicianship, particularly by Harris. He has a very flashy style, but doesn't let his solos or riffs get in the way of the songs, unlike other guitar-hero types. Accessible yet not overtly poppy, Encyclopedia was a fine album in its day.
