The New Wave of British Heavy Metal unleashed a torrent of intelligence-fuelled rock on its unsuspecting audience:
Blistering time signatures changes
Epic 15 minute songs
Devastating guitar tones.

And – of course – a legion of headbanging-induced A&E appointments awash with symptoms not too dissimilar to a multi-car pile-up.

Whiplash is our tribute to this genre-defining movement that skyrocketed the world’s greatest metal bands into household names. From the bedrock laid out by AC/DC, to Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica and Megadeth – lest we forget modern-day contemporaries including Slipknot and Rammstein – Whiplash provides the definitive blueprint for the heavier side of guitar. Featuring DynIRs inspired by Marshall®, Orange®, Mesa®, ENGL® and Randall®, prisoners will not be taken. Warnings will not be heeded. The tone will always gallop on.
