Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as a direct conceptual sequel to his highly acclaimed 2002 album 'Electric Tears', the enigmatic masked virtuoso returns to a remarkably delicate, acoustic-driven format. The album is incredibly peaceful and meditative, relying heavily on intricate classical guitar fingerpicking, subtle synthesized atmospheres, and prominent melodic restraint. It beautifully highlights his profound technical mastery while completely abandoning his trademark frenetic, avant-garde metal soloing.
