(1888PressRelease) August 16, 2010 - Randall Burkey proudly announces the release of his debut album, Shock Blind, available for download now and will be released physically in September.

For his first full album inspired by life and his love for many different types of music, Burkey handpicked the songs that had moved him the most and rocked his car stereo the hardest. From his apartment in Cincinnati, OH, Burkey embarked on a journey to create music that got right to the point about what the listener is supposed to hear and feel.

Songs like "Winter Drive" and "Hit Me" are the album's more upbeat and positive moments while tracks such as "Warning", "Freefall", and "The End" are a reminder that all good things have their flip side and the Shock Blind takes on a darker feel as the album goes along.

"There are no words, no vocal parts on this album...yet I wanted the album to tell a story, I wanted to let the music do the talking," explains Burkey. "I took great pains to order the songs just the way they needed to be played and my goal was to take myself and the listener on a journey that goes beyond listening to an album just to kill the time. I want to grab the listener and not let them go until they've gone through all 13 tracks. I hope that my listeners are moved as much as I was making it".

A guitarist and drummer for over 10 years now, Randall Burkey decided to set aside his instruments and do electronically what he couldn't necessarily do instrumentally.

"Before, when I'd had a vision of where I wanted a riff or song to go, I'd play around on the guitar for a while and figure out something that worked," says Burkey. "That was sufficient for me then, but now that I have so many other sounds and textures to work with, I feel there are no limits and I can more accurately create the feel I'm going for."

Shock Blind is the first chapter in the unfolding saga of Randall Burkey, where the world's riff maker finds a home in Cincinnati. Order your digital copy today at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/randallburkey.
