Joe Satriani Announces New Album, ‘Shapeshifting’
Guitarist also being honored at Metal Hall of Fame, about to launch huge tour

It’s already a big year for guitar wizard Joe Satriani, but Tuesday, it got even bigger. He announced ‘Shapeshifting, his 18th studio album — release date forthcoming.

In April, he’s also heading out on his Shapeshifting tour, which begins with 42 dates in Europe and will hit the U.S. in the fall. His band will include fellow virtuosos: bassist Bryan Beller, drummer Kenny Aronoff, and keyboardist Rai Thistlethwayte.

More details are on the way, but Satriani has plenty to do before then. Wednesday, he’s going to be inducted into the Metal Hall of Fame by his friend Steve Vai, joining Motörhead, Randy Rhoads, Judas Priest, Ronnie James Dio, and others.
