Greatest Guitar Solo Of The Week?

Question

What, in your honest but not so humble opinion, is the greatest guitar solo you have heard this week? Can be any genre you like, any style, as long as you think it's the best from these past few days. 

Mine goes to Dechristianize - Vital Remains

If you want to skip the fantastically epic intro and the death metal bits, the solo I'm talking about is at 4:18 and onwards. Sweeps, sweeps, everywhere! Cheers :)

BQ: Most surprising musical discovery this week?
BQ2: Most underrated soloist in your opinion?
BQ3: Would you like a hug from this guy? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7ZQPOJJ3ZQE/S6sQcAnSQnI/AAAAAAAAAZI/L6_lAmbiZBo/s400/koala+bear.jpg

The first solo on "The Number of the Beast" (Dave Murray's solo)

Yeah, it's been a slow week for memorable solos, but it is the highlight of the whole song, too.

not my usual cup of tea.

BQ2: Ol Drake (Evile) of course he is an up and comer, so we will see how long that remains.  Of guys with a long history, Adrian Smith of Maiden.  Gets way overlooked and buried beneath all the Thrash, Death and Neo-Classical Metal guys out there, but his solos are purely tasty.

BQ3-  Well, they are actually grouchy lil boogers with hellacious claws, but yeah, I love me them guys anyhow.
