Erik Fincher has been around the block…a few times. As a tech and manager for some of the biggest names in the Rock and Metal world (including Static-X, Ministry and Meshuggah), he has a wealth of experience about instruments, with what gear works with what, and the industry in general. Combine this with his serious chops as a musician in his own right, and he is well on the road to a highly visible and successful run with his newest project. His new band Blood Red Summer just put the final touches on their Self Titled Debut Album Blood Red Summer, which was co-produced with and mastered by Ken Jay (Static-X). We sent Erik a Jarrell JZS-2 loaded with Seymour Duncan Blackouts which he was understandably floored by; so much so that he produced a video to expound upon its merits.

Check out the amazing review he provides in the video below as well as what’s going on with his band. Look for Erik playing his Jarrell in Blood Red Summer in a city near you soon!
