„It plays good, feels smooth, and stands up to my heavy picking style and still it „stays in tune” forever! I always say that you have to fight for making your own luck and fortune, and for that you better have the Strength Of Will. Now I have the Strength Of Strings in the line, too!”

A piece from Attila’s bio as he calls it the „ Strenght Of Will ”

Attila Voros is a young and well-seeked guitarist from Hungary, but for the most people he’s gotten be known by being the 2nd guitarist of the legendary metal band Nevermore where he stepped into some really heavy shoes such as Chris Broderick (Megadeth), Pat O’Brien (Cannibal Corpse), Tim Calvert or Steve Smyth (Forbidden). He’s also the lead guitarist of Warrel Dane’s solo band since early 2010. This is a real success story, since he got his gig via myspace and youtube.  Whenever he is off tour with Nevermore or Warrel Dane’s solo band, he takes his time writing songs, making videos and playing shows with his other band, Leander. His style combines the technical skills with an emotional playing with wide bendings and smooth vibratos.

„I’ve been using 7 string guitars for years and I use various tunings which has been a pain in the ass since forever, because it’s always hard to find the right gauge and the good quality strings at the same time.  With Nevermore I mainly use 009-046 and a 064 for the 7th string and for the drop tuned stuffs I also use 009-046 with a 068 for the low G#. With S.I.T. I’ve finally found my path and so all the problems are gone!”

Quotes:

Jeff Loomis ( Nevermore ) at Guitar World Magazine:

“His playing is amazing! He really did his homework, too. He knew exactly what was going on with all the little nuances in the songs. So I invited him over to my house and auditioned him, and I really didn’t have to show him much of anything. He just knew what to do. We’re all very excited, because he’s a great player and a good kid. There’s a very good chance that we’ll end up making him a full-time member.”

Zoltan Bathory ( Five Finger Death Punch ):

„Saw some youtube clips of your playing - very impressive brother - keep going - keep kicking ass …”

Warrel Dane ( Nevermore ):

„One of my ex-girlfriends, who knew we were looking for a new guitarist called me and said: “You should see this guy’s YouTube videos, he can play all your songs, he’s really good”. So I went online and started watching his videos. I had to call her back to ask if she had his phone number. She found it and I called him. I guess it was meant to be.”

Van Williams ( Nevermore ):

„Hey Man, just checked out some of your stuff, your more than qualified I would say for sure”
