Tonehammer has introduced Epic Guitars – a new sound library featuring one of the best heavy session guitar players in the Scandinavia, Danne .

Forsblom used his custom 6, 7 and 8 string guitars in the sessions and played them through a variety of different amps and custom FX pedals. All riffs were recorded between X4 to X16 times. The core stacking technique is controlled by adjustment of modwheel on the keyboard controller.

The core library contains nearly 2000 riffs/phrases/licks, which are divided into 7 core tempos: 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130 and 140 BPM. The style of the library is a mixture of nu metal with a a touch of hard rock/funk on top.
