Bio:
Born and raised in Longview, TX, Monte Pittman made the decision at 24 to move to L.os Angeles to pursue a career as a professional musician unfortunately having to leave his family, friends, and band Myra Mains behind. Upon arrival in LA, he made ends meet by working at a local music store. Realizing he was better at teaching than selling, he left to start providing guitar lessons.As fate would have it, his third student would end up being British filmmaker Guy Ritchie, who had just received a guitar from his then girlfriend, Madonna. Soon after, Monte was introduced to the iconic performer, and became her guitar teacher as well. A month later, Monte was invited to join Madonna on stage at the David Letterman Show to promote her album, Music.Monte has since played guitar on all of her live tours and albums starting with the 2001 Drowned World Tour to sharing writing credits on some of her songs.Monte has also played guitar for the band Prong. He is credited with co-writing songs on “Scorpio Rising” and ”Power of the Damager” to which he also added backing vocals and bass. He also played guitar on Prong’s live album “100% Live”.In November 2009, Monte released his debut acoustic solo album, “The Deepest Dark”. Almost a year after its release, a special bonus version of “The Deepest Dark” was released and immediately reached the No. 1 spot on the Best-Selling Acoustic Albums list at CD-Baby.com. It was also No. 9 in the Top 10 Best-Selling CDs for the Fall of 2010.In 2011, Monte launched a Kickstarter campaign for his second album, “Pain, Love & Destiny”. It raised a staggering $65,500, making him the top rock musician to raise the most money on the crowd-funding platform at that time. Monte met his initial goal of $5,000 in under 24 hours. It was released later that year and within its first week made it to No. 1 Rock Album, No. 1 Pop Album, and made it onto the Top 10 Albums chart on CD Baby. In addition, it cracked iTunes’ Top 200.Monte performed at the 2012 Super Bowl with Madonna and toured around the world on the MDNA Tour.. He also performed at the 2012 Artists In Music Awards where he was given an award for Best Solo Artist in addition to being nominated in four other categories. Monte has also been honored with a Career Achievement Award from the Hollywood F.A.M.E. Awards. The Los Angeles Music Awards nominated him for Best Male Singer/Songwriter and Best Modern Rock Album for “Pain, Love, & Destiny”.In November of last year, “M.P.3: The Power Of Three, Pt. 1″ was released. It’s a stripped down acoustic EP marking the beginning of Monte and Flemming Rasmussen’s working relationship.In 2013, Pittman with band members Kane Ritchotte on drums and Max Whipple on bass went to Copenhagen to record the upcoming album with producer Flemming Rasmussen. This marks Monte’s return to heavy music.
Album:
Fans love it when their favorite artist releases a new album: all it takes is one awesome song to satisfy a music lover’s hunger for killer tunes. So, if your favorite artist/band released one new kicking album, you would absolutely feel like a kid on Christmas morning if that artist/band released not one but two noteworthy new albums on the same date, right? That in mind, fans of Metal Guitarist/Singer-Songwriter Monte Pittman, get ready to unstring those holiday lights a few months early: on Friday, August 31, 2018, the cunning Monte Pittman dares to release two brand-new albums, the electric Between the Space and the acoustic Better or Worse, on Metal Blade Records.An accomplished musician, Pittman’s high influences sparked his fire as he absorbed the music of an array of artists ranging from the songwriting niche of The Beach Boys and Radiohead to the sharpness of Metal from maestros like Metallica and Steve Vai. For those unfamiliar with Pittman’s library of work, from 2000-2009, Pittman donned the axe, shredding for Thrash/Groove Metal veterans Prong. Though primarily a Metal axeman, Pittman has collaborated alongside artists from a variety of genres for years. In fact, Metal fans may be surprised to know Pittman has actually been the longtime guitarist of the “Material Girl” herself, Madonna; a vital component of her band since 2001. As a solo performer, Pittman is no amateur, as this skilled player has a catalog all his own, releasing a number of studio albums beginning with The Deepest Dark in 2009 on through Inverted Grasp of Balance in 2016.Creatively, on both Between the Space and Better or Worse, Pittman commands his position as a creative talent, writing every lyric, playing every instrument, recording, and mixing every sound. Crediting another artist, Aaron Lea brought the imaginative cover art to life for both releases in a classic visual.Focusing on the new electric LP, Between the Space, on each track, Pittman delivers to the listener a novel of varying melodies diligently stitched together. Getting into it, Between The Space is kicked into gear by the raunchy stomp of “Evidence,” vocally flavoring the likes of Black Sabbath. After a tasty, dark toned start, “Ominous/Hope” brings reminiscence of 90’s Alternative Metal stalwarts Helmet, as Pittman’s brazen vocal harmony collides with his signature bouncy groove and melodic soloing. For “Changing of the Guard,” an electric build-up leads to a galloping melody of marching Metal before the banging riffs and bent strings of “Between The Space.”Captivating, Pittman delves into a cosmic shift on “Once Upon A Time,” opening in slow, dreamy guitar, flowing into a louder, more poignant chorus, as the melody and song structure suitably fit Pittman’s voice. Picking it back up, “Equal Temperament” comes looking for a fight via a serial main hook to which all Metal fans can indulge. On “Reverse Magnetism,” Pittman gets more aggressive and forceful on fighting drum beats and thunderous guitar solos. To close out Between The Space, Pittman’s “Beguiling” embodies a hypnotizing and sinister, somber opening melody, a few steps lower than the one and only Ozzy Osbourne’s “Diary of a Madman,” into a vigilant story of lost trust.Changing gears into Pittman’s new acoustic album, Better or Worse is a true-to-life acoustic collection, embodying a underlying electric feel. The theme of the album represents both a connection and a disconnect from something. Challenging the scope of acoustic guitar, “Depth Perception” opens the LP, introducing the listener to a spectrum of impressive guitar soloing not typically found on acoustic tracks. As “Have Faith” chases a reason to believe, “Turning Retrograde” reverses in time, seeing Pittman capture a real singer-songwriter tone, in a simpler style of writing which some fans of the guitarist may not expect.On the same note, amongst somber tones, “Better or Worse” pushes the emotional boundaries, possessing a lyrical candor as Pittman expresses decisions of giving up. The tale of the two prior tracks continues with “The Right Words,” simple chords highlighted by carefully placed nuances. Then, “Whose Side Are You On?” talks about choices and choosing the right path because, especially in our present time, someone is always listening. As the “Torchbearer,” Pittman reveals the album’s first electric-acoustic waves, before the closer, “Witch Trials,” casts a blatantly black, melodic aura to conclude Better or Worse. All this in mind, the acoustic setting of Better Or Worse unveils a deeper edge to Pittman’s voice, giving the listener a peak into a another realm of Pittman’s world.For Metal fans, getting Between The Space and Better Or Worse will be an intriguing and mind-bending odyssey, as Pittman’s tedious song crafting activates the most intelligent senses in the listener’s subconscious. At heart, Pittman’s song-writing is direct and convincing with climatic story-telling. In the end, both Between the Space and Better or Worse are for Metal fans desiring to do a little thinking while listening to their Metal.
