New York, United States – June 18, 2025 – Guitarist and composer Michael Martello announces the release of his powerful new single, “Disoriented Desire”, a hard-hitting collaboration featuring Joel Hoekstra of legendary rock band Whitesnake, and Dustin Tomsen, the rising Ibanez-endorsed guitar prodigy from Germany.
With its blistering guitar work, emotionally charged melodies, and raw intensity, “Disoriented Desire” blends classic rock, progressive shred, and cinematic textures into a genre-defying sonic journey. The single is now available for streaming on SoundCloud, YouTube, and Spotify.
“This track is about the chaos of longing—both beautiful and dangerous,” explains Martello. “Having Joel Hoekstra contribute his masterful phrasing and Dustin Tomsen bring his explosive energy to the table elevated the song beyond anything I imagined.”
A Meeting of Masters
