The second outing from Anselmo and his posse (well one of his numerous post Pantera outfits) comes quite a few years apart from their debut and features contributions from the entire backing band, unlike its predecessor, “Walk Through Exits Only”.

Hi Matt. First of all, congratulations on your self-titled debut album. It came out of nowhere and took us all by surprise! Kudos!

M: Thank you so much! We have been working on it for a long time so it’s really nice to finally have it out there.

Do tell me… when did Ghost Ship Octavius take shape and which were the music kinds that you wanted to combine with this new band?

Shy - Unfinished Business

I was really thrilled when I listened to “Unfinished Business” for the first time back in 2002 and writing a review was the least I could do for this magnificent album. Of course, I made a mistake back then… I should have rated the album with half a point more but I wanted time to tell whether my judgment was right or if I was just overexcited because I hadn’t heard from the band for over ten years plus, they had been and still are one of my beloved hard rock bands.

Who would believe that Shy would be back again after so many years with the original singer, Tony Mills, in the band again? Who said that hard rock music is not on the rise again? Only a fool can believe such a thing, especially after listening to Shy’s new comeback album! And for those who don’t know Shy, it’s better to stop dealing with rock/hard rock music. I can only say they are missing an important part of hard rock music and that’s a pity!
