A unique fusion of heavy metal and modern electronic sounds is the focus for this entry: Marty Friedman’s 2010 solo album, “Bad D.N.A.” Released in Japan on August 25, 2010, via the HPQ / Avex Group label with the catalog number YICQ-10011, this CD captures the guitarist during his prolific period as a major figure in the Japanese entertainment scene. This particular copy includes the original obi strip.
Arriving four years after his previous original studio album, “Loudspeaker,” this release showcases Friedman’s desire to evolve his sound beyond traditional metal. He collaborated with the acclaimed electronic music producer and arranger CMJK to create a high-energy instrumental album that blends his signature aggressive guitar riffs and “crying” melodies with club and dance beats.
The album is characterized by its relentless energy and catchy hooks, designed to be played loud. Tracks like “Specimen,” “Weapons Of Ecstacy,” and the title track demonstrate this aggressive yet melodic fusion.
This Japanese release offers exclusive content that makes it a must-have for collectors. It includes a bonus eleventh track: a cover of the classical crossover hit “Time To Say Goodbye” (Con te partirò), reimagined with Friedman’s expressive guitar taking the place of the vocal melody. Furthermore, YICQ-10011 is an Enhanced CD (CD-Extra), containing additional data content accessible on a computer. “Bad D.N.A.” stands as a bold experiment in Friedman’s discography, proving his guitar work can thrive in any musical landscape.
