While the result was Friedman playing a guest solo on “Celestial,” off Skyharbor’s debut 2012 album, Blinding White Noise: Illusion and Chaos, Dhar is now paying the favor back to Friedman by playing riffs on “Steroidhead,” the first single from Friedman’s 12th solo album, Inferno. Even better, Dhar and Friedman shred to Skyharbor drummer Anup Sastry’s beats, making the instrumental song “Steroidhead” a mix of Friedman’s searing solos and chugging prog-metal riffs from Dhar.
