Owner/President of Colosal Productions; Colosus (who in times past has been known primarily as a Hip-Hop producer) is set to take a leap into new uncharted territory. The Guitarist/Producer is known best for producing the highly successful compilation album "Colosus Presents: The Adamantium Project". The album lead to a "Best Producer" nomination from "The Buffalo Music Awrds" along w/ critical acclaim from such source publications as "Night-Life Magazine" & "The Underground Directory". While no longer producing Hip-Hop, Colosus' new material borders on a fusion of Prog Rock & Hip-Hop with a little blues spinkled in for good measure. The new album: "Colosus" consists of 15 tracks that press forward like a full-on assault until the final note closes out. The fully instrumental album falls somewhere between the likes of Joe Satriani & Wu Tang Clan while still maintaining it's own original flavor. At the present, Colosus is currently set to go back into the studio to work on the follow up to "Colosus".
