I was first made aware of guitarist/producer Waldemar Sorychta when he formed GRIP INC. with SLAYER drummer Dave Lombardo in 1995. I immediately fell for his guitar sound and style of playing. If you are familiar with Sorychta’s work, then you will notice his trademark sound in ENEMY OF THE SUN. With ENEMY OF THE …
