Stu Marshall

Guitarist for “Paindivision” and “Empires of Eden”.

It's a busy life and I'd have it no other way...

After 500+ shows in my career and various international releases, I am a regular columnist for Guitarist Australia Magazine and national clinician for T-custom guiatrs and laboga amplification for Australasia.

From 2001 until 2005, I played in the Australian power metal band "Dungeon", completed extensive national touring, 3 tours of Japan, two world wide tours covering most of Europe, Canada and the states. While in Dungeon I had the great pleasure of touring with bands such as Nightwish, Destruction, Edguy, Angra, Mayhem and the Australian / European leg of the 2005 “Blackmail the Universe” tour with metal giants Megadeth.

After departing Dungeon in 05 I created “Paindivision” and have been fortunate to have supported Black Label Society, Sebastian Bach, Helloween and more recently Armored Saint and Death Angel on their recent Australian Tour.

Paindivision released the debut cd in 2007 and the follow-up “One Path” in October 2008 which reached great critical acclaim in receiving 9/10 from metalobsession.net and 8.2/10 from Pyromusic.net.

Since then I have recorded my solo cd “Altered states” and have just release the second Empires of Eden album - Reborn in fire, now I am currently releasing the second cd for my band “Empires of Eden”.

Thankfully, reviews have been very kind with Bruce Dickinson levelling praise on the debut album after a feature on his radio rock show in December 09. Reborn in Fire features many vocalists that I have been a huge fan of for many years.

In October I'll be performing live with Tiffany Gow after appearing on her latest album.

My musical influences span a very wide range with my Ipod containing both Slayers "Reign in Blood" and the equally briliant "Rumors" by Fleetwood mac. If it's got great songs it's in the play list.

I offer session work at very competitive rates and due to owning my own studio “Frontiers Studio”, I can offer fast turn around times, some as low as three hours..
